Madam Speaker, climate change is one of our biggest foreign policy challenges. I read the report that came out of Queen's University, but we are a long way from our Paris targets. Our target is 523 megatonnes and we have nine short years to reach that.
With the path we are currently on, with all the measures that have been implemented to date, all the analysis demonstrates that we are not on track to meet those targets. Therefore, I am skeptical about the rhetoric in the Speech from the Throne that Canada will not only meet its Paris targets, but in fact exceed them. I will wait for legislative and other measures the government brings forward, but the track record does not suggest a lot of optimism.
