Mr. Speaker, this budget is the epitome of climate capitulation. The Department of the Environment's budget is being cut by 15%. The emissions cap for the oil and gas sector is being eliminated. Oil companies are getting tax credits. That is just a short list.
The commissioner of the environment and sustainable development was clear this morning. He confirmed that, even before the budget, Canada was not on track to meet its greenhouse gas reduction targets by 2030, and now with the elimination of carbon pricing, we are going backwards. The budget's response is fewer environmental measures and more money for oil companies.
We are headed for disaster. Why are the Liberals stepping on the gas?
