Madam Speaker, historically, thanks to Jean Lesage and René Lévesque, Quebec has used its hydroelectric resources to produce green, clean energy. There is no oil production in Quebec, although the leader of the Bloc Québécois was once briefly tempted by a project on Anticosti Island.
However, we are among the world's biggest polluters. English Canada has a lot of work to do in the oil and gas sector, but the biggest purchasers of SUVs in Canada are Quebeckers.
Despite our fantastic water resources, should we not be pushing our compatriots, our fellow Quebeckers, to make an effort? It is not just English Canada's fault. Quebeckers also need to do more to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
