Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the member for his first speech in the House of Commons and welcome him here.
I noted one thing he said. He talked about taking this debate on climate change to other countries so they would take it more seriously. I am wondering what the member thinks that leaders of billions of people around the world are not understanding about the climate crisis at this point in time. I wonder if it could perhaps be because getting people out of poverty is one of the most important items on their agenda at this point in time. The access to inexpensive power and environmental fuel is probably a much more important step than virtue signalling about what fuel we are producing.
In that vein, would the member and his province commit to getting Canadian resources, such as natural gas and other environmentally friendly hydrocarbons, to markets in areas around the world where we would drastically reduce the impact of CO2 in a closed environmental system?
