Mr. Speaker, the member clearly articulated how the Liberals have been pushing for betting on these pipelines. He said there is no contradiction with climate action, but Canada's own independent energy regulator says that the oil sands will not need Keystone XL or the Trans Mountain expansion if the government passes the promised climate legislation. Oil and gas workers are struggling. Fifty thousand workers have lost their jobs since 2014, but instead of implementing the kind of just transition that would support workers, families and communities with training and low-carbon jobs for the future, the Liberals keep making empty promises on the climate and cheerleading, or buying risky pipeline projects.
If the Liberal Party or the Conservative Party truly cared about communities and workers across Canada, would they not be investing in a just transition, not sometime down the road, but now to diversify our economy and create low-carbon jobs?
