Mr. Speaker, we cannot base our economy on fossil fuels. The government does not seem to get that.
If the government does not go green, we will be headed for disaster and our young people will pay the price. That is why a youth environmental organization called ENvironnement JEUnesse brought a class action against Ottawa today. They say the government is breaking its climate change promises. That is what it has come to: our young people are so worried about their future that they are suing the federal government.
Do our young people really have to take the government to court to drive home the point that it has to stop subsidizing big oil?
