Mr. Speaker, the NDP respects Canadian seniors, and that is why we will not vote in favour of the budget.
The environment commissioner said that with Bill C-38, there would be only 20 to 30 federal environmental assessments a year.
These irresponsible cuts will allow pipelines to cross our rivers with virtually no safeguards. But Canadians are already carrying the weight of $7 billion in environmental debt.
Why add to the environmental debt of future generations? Why are the Conservatives so irresponsible?
