Mr. Speaker, as you can see, the Conservatives continue to govern with their blinders on.
We have recently learned that they hired an oil lobbyist to advise them on the transfer of the Experimental Lakes Area. These lakes are international scientific and environmental gems that do not exist anywhere else. The Conservatives do not care about the opinion of scientists. They think that the oil industry is much better suited to make decisions about scientific research.
Why did the Conservatives hire a friend of the oil industry to consult on the Experimental Lakes Area?
