Madam Speaker, if laziness were a virtue, the Liberals would all be in heaven, because what we are always told is, “Well, the NDP says we're not doing enough and the Conservatives say we're doing too much, so we'll just sit back and enjoy ourselves”. That is what got us into this problem.
That is what got us into the problem when the Liberal government did all its talk on Kyoto and did nothing. It said, “As long as we say nice things about the planet, the planet will suddenly get better”.
Yes, they have taken some baby steps. However the reality is not what the Democrats say; it is what the Paris accord says.
The government is making it up. It will not tell the truth. Because the Prime Minister has a Haida tattoo and says that the Great Bear Rainforest is no place to run a pipeline and then runs a pipeline through it, that is suddenly okay because he has a Haida tattoo. Well, so what? How about actually meeting the Paris accord? That is the question.
