Mr. Speaker, on Friday, 1.5 million students went on strike for the future of the planet and their own future.
I attended the protest in Montreal, amid a sea of 100,000 other people. It was beautiful and moving to see all these young people standing up to demand action.
There was even a slogan that went, “Do something, for eff's sake”.
The Liberals let them down with yesterday's budget. The government is still plodding along with the same old policies, the same old subsidies for oil companies and the purchase of an old pipeline.
Our young people realize that the situation is urgent. Why do the Liberals refuse to listen to them?
