Madam Speaker, I rise to present a petition that identifies the fact that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has warned us repeatedly that rising temperatures over the next two decades will bring widespread devastation. The impacts in Canada will include increased flooding, wildfires and extreme temperatures.
The signatories to this petition call upon the Government of Canada to move forward quickly to implement bold emissions caps for the oil and gas sector that are comprehensive in scope and realistic in achieving the necessary targets that have been set to reduce emissions by 2030 in Canada.
