Mr. Speaker, many of the Liberal speakers, although not this particular parliamentary secretary, have been talking about climate change and climate change science and contrasting it with COVID.
To my hon. friend, whom I regard as an environmental champion and who is the member of Parliament for Yukon, with permafrost thawing and the various threats we face right now, I am troubled by Liberal triumphalism on the subject of climate crisis when our targets are still the same ones put forward by Stephen Harper and we have the worst record in the G7 and about the worst record in the industrialized world.
Is there any reason for hoping that the government will improve our target to what is required, which is doubling it if we are serious about holding to 1.5 degrees?
