Madam Speaker, the hon. member represents the riding next to mine, Provencher. I am from Winnipeg South.
I just want to know if the hon. member recalls that it was Stephen Harper who added CO2 to schedule 1 of CEPA, the gas that is primarily responsible for climate change. Given that his riding is next to mine, I know that the Red River flooded this year and half of his riding was underwater. It had the worst drought in 70 years last year and had the wettest year on record this year.
Does the member believe climate change is real, that it should be a major focus of the House and that we need to use all the tools in our tool box to combat it?
