Madam Speaker, that is quite true. Actually, the promise was made on the shores of Lake Simcoe. The Deputy Prime Minister promised $40 million for Lake Simcoe because the Liberals cancelled the cleanup fund. What happened was promises, promises, promises. Circling back to how important the environment is, I want to point out that this was from a government that did not support my bill, Bill C-204, on stopping plastic waste from going to developing countries. I also want to ask the Liberal government this: Where are the six billion trees? People in York—Simcoe at my Canada Day barbecue have planted more trees than the Liberal government has, and I am proud of everyone in my riding.
In the House of Commons on December 4th, 2024. See this statement in context.
