Madam Speaker, I congratulate the member for Calgary Shepard on returning to the House.
The climate emergency is not going to address itself. That is something we all know. It is our reality. We also know that the Liberal schedule to address the climate emergency is not going to do it. We are not even on pace to meet the target that has been set by the Paris Agreement. At this rate, we will be 175 million tonnes away from our emissions reduction target in 2030.
Having said that, what we need is bold action to avert a climate catastrophe. We can begin with real investments. Investment in transit is an example. We can stop the subsidies to the fossil fuel industry. That is something the Liberals promised in 2015. We can actually put in a real just transition plan for the workers.
The member talked about the workers and the need to ensure that their families are taken care of. What about the government putting forward a real just transition plan for those workers, so that they do not have to worry about the future? What about saying to them that their future can exist in the reality of us tackling the climate emergency?
