Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague, who also serves with me on the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development.
According to the expert who appeared before the committee, it is quite clear that an objective is not a target. If a party that claims to advocate for the environment and says it wants to rely on science thinks that it is doing the right thing by setting a 2026 interim objective, well, it is not. The government expert made it very clear that an objective is not a target.
Amendments were proposed to improve transparency and to make the law binding, but they were all rejected.
As I said a few hours ago, we have a race ahead of us and we have no choice but to run it, but our running shoes have no laces.
