Madam Speaker, nothing has changed.
The former minister came up with an $83-billion plan that essentially targeted the oil and gas industry. The striptease continues, and the statement comes up short on new details. For example, the government is now explaining how it plans to support hydrogen production from methane. It says that this is good for the environment. In truth, it is really about supporting oil sands, oil and natural gas. The government's striptease on this topic continues under false pretenses, with a fake green veneer, when urgent action is called for. We have already passed the 1.5°C target and the other targets that were set, and now we are seeing what changes that has brought on.
The government needs to do a lot more, but by all indications, it is doing nothing.
