Mr. Speaker, if I could have additional time to be the equivalent of the minister's what I would say is, number one, we measure success not by good programs on paper but by emissions reductions in real life. The atmosphere is not interested in negotiating with humanity nor is it interested in the Liberal Party doing better than the Conservative Party. All that matters is that we live within our carbon budgets, and we are not.
If we do not hold to 1.5°C, as the developing world and low-lying island states say, it is a death sentence for them. After the summer we have had in British Columbia with nearly 600 of my fellow citizens dying in the heat dome, with the wildfires and now with the flooding, how many more death sentences do we take if we accept that 1.5°C is the best we can get and we are failing to get there?
We are failing to meet our commitments, and the honourable minister knows it. It is not a prop that he has a bicycle on his wall, it is not a prop that he is in an electric car, but it is a prop to claim that we are doing what needs to be done when we are building pipelines and subsidizing fossil fuels.
