Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague from Honoré-Mercier really surprises me.
He formed an environment and climate change committee within the government out of concern that the government is completely giving up on the fight against climate change. Today, he shows up in the House and delivers a speech that is literally greenwashing, where he brags about a budget that has been so harshly criticized that Canada won a fossil award, an international booby prize.
That budget cuts Environment and Climate Change Canada's spending, abandons important measures, gives billions of dollars to oil companies and abandons the emissions cap for the oil and gas sector. I would like my hon. colleague to explain to me how he can support and praise a budget that surrenders to climate change, that is criticized by NGOs, that is criticized internationally, and that gives money to oil and gas companies. It is shameful.
