Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my hon. colleague on his initiative, which we will support. I also want to congratulate the hon. member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie for acting on conviction over the past few days. He stood his ground, showed courage, and decided to resign from cabinet because of the marked retreat from, not to say abandonment of, the fight against climate change. The hon. member for Laurier—Sainte‑Marie even said that it would be dishonest to say that Canada will meet its 2030 climate targets.
Knowing that climate change is the greatest threat to biodiversity, I would like to know if his hon. colleagues will also stand up and denounce the government's dangerous backpedalling.
