Mr. Speaker, yesterday the government said yes to two new oil pipelines. Oddly enough, that was right before a reception on the Hill organized by pipeline lobbyists. The champagne must have been flowing after that announcement.
The Prime Minister says that these two pipelines will help us fight climate change. How can he say that expanding oil sands development is part of the transition to green energy? How can he say that this is for his children and future generations? How can he say that by polluting more, we will pollute less? His jaw-droppingly flawed logic is making us look bad to the rest of the world.
Climate change will not spare environmentally responsible nations, so all of Canada's international allies will pay for this country's irresponsibility.
Once again, Canada is making it clear that Quebec's future in terms of energy, the economy, and diplomacy depends on its independence.
