Madam Speaker, the member ended his speech talking about climate change, which is an issue that is of utmost importance to many people in northwest B.C. I could not help but notice in the throne speech that the Liberals plan to legislate a 2050 climate target. I fail to see how this exercise can be productive at all, given that they have failed to meet any of the targets that they have set for themselves and for our country. What my teenaged daughters and I would like to see are targets within this political horizon, targets for the next two and five years.
How can we possibly hold the Liberal government accountable for a target 30 years in the future? We need action now, not in 2050.
