Mr. Speaker, the Liberals announced today that they are scrapping their program to plant two billion trees. This decision to abandon this strategy is a big deal. It was one of the only green measures left over from the Trudeau era, and this is happening on the same day as a budget full of bad news for the environment. The budget will provide details about the new federal strategy, known as climate competitiveness.
If climate competitiveness means abolishing carbon pricing, EV quotas and tree planting and instead encouraging the expansion of oil and gas, should we not call it climate capitulation?
