Mr. Speaker, I am surprised to hear the former leader of the Green Party, the member for Saanich—Gulf Islands, encouraging more transport of hydrocarbons by rail and by truck. We know how that has gone in Lac-Mégantic. We know how that is actually worse for the environment because all of those sources emit greenhouse gases, so that is not a plan.
This is the trouble with the ideological left and I include the government in that group of parties there. They are against everything and they have no real ideas or credibility on how to actually reduce emissions while keeping hundreds of thousands of Canadians employed, how to innovate and how to lower carbon intensity. People cannot just shut down everything. When someone is part of a party, whether the Bloc Québécois or the Green Party, that will never be in government, they can live in fantasy.
However, when one is in government, like this government, for almost six years, its fantasy is dividing this country, it is making us less prosperous and when they cannot even defend a pipeline that has operated safely for years and we have to bring an emergency debate about it, that shows that this tired, incompetent government needs to go.
