Madam Speaker, my colleague highlighted some really important things, including that the Liberal government continues to put forward targets and miss its targets. It is like a constant public relations campaign. I want to thank my colleague for supporting my motion, M-151, to tackle plastic pollution and the House also did, unanimously, in 2018. It led to the first-ever ghost and derelict fishing gear fund. However, what did the government do this year on World Oceans Day? It announced that it is going to host the 2nd International Fishing Gear Innovation Summit. The Liberals talk about their global leadership when it comes to tackling ghost and derelict fishing gear and bringing together harvesters. They are going to host that here in Canada, but they failed to tell the international community that they killed the program. They actually stopped funding this world-class program, but they are going to host a summit to talk about their great program that they killed.
What does my colleague think about the constant public relations campaign when we have really important environmental issues, which I know he and people in Quebec City care about, when it comes to tackling plastic pollution and protecting our planet?
