Madam Speaker, I would like to welcome the member for Whitby to the House of Commons.
I was reading a letter from 11,000 scientists who are involved in studying our climate and who declare unequivocally that planet earth is facing a climate emergency. I take great stock in what scientists are saying.
The member was talking about how he values evidence-based decision-making. Scientists are stating unequivocally that we are facing a climate emergency, yet his government has gone ahead and bought a bitumen oil-exporting pipeline and plans to triple its exports.
Can the member try to qualify how he can support such a project, how his government can support such a project, yet firmly believe in evidence-based decision-making?
