Mr. Speaker, we will always vote against reckless Conservative budgets that gut our environmental laws.
The Coastal GasLink pipeline in northern B.C. will cross over 300 waterways and will affect the habitat of over 100 species at risk. However, after the Conservatives are done gutting environmental protections like the Navigable Waters Protection Act, this massive project will not even face an environmental assessment.
How can Conservatives claim that cancelling environmental assessments for projects like GasLink have nothing to do with the environment?
