Mr. Speaker, it is time for the government to get serious about climate change and to respect our obligations to our children and grandchildren.
It turns out that contrary to the government's claims, we are not harmonizing our climate policy with the U.S. The United States is now regulating greenhouse gas emissions from big industrial emitters whereas Canada still has no federal regulations, not even draft ones.
The commissioner said today, “The government has not established clear priorities for addressing the need to adapt to a changing climate”.
Worse yet, the government has buried reports about the impact of climate change. It is not a theory. It is a reality.
When is the government going to stop denying the scientific truth?
