Mr. Speaker, the St. Lawrence River is the lifeblood of Quebec. It is the cradle of the Quebec nation, which has grown and developed along its shores over four centuries.
We now see that climate change is damaging those shores, threatening biodiversity and jeopardizing the survival of species that have been fished for generations.
In the meantime, the federal government is investing $34 billion in a dirty oil pipeline. Dirty oil is the primary cause of global warming. Ottawa is literally making Quebeckers pay to harm our own ecosystems.
How much longer will we agree to entrust our money to this irresponsible country?
