Mr. Speaker, it is clear that the Liberal government simply wants to do as it pleases. We have a Prime Minister who wants to run the government like a big board of directors.
Here are the facts. The Assembly of First Nations is calling on the federal government to withdraw the MOU that it signed with Alberta for the construction of a new oil pipeline. Other voices within the government, namely two experts and founding members of the Net-Zero Advisory Body, quit because the government is ignoring science and refuses to listen to recommendations from scientific experts. This government does not listen to or consult with first nations, and it does not consult with scientists. It also does not consult with its own adviser, the chief science advisor. I had the opportunity to question her when she came to meet with the Standing Committee on Science and Research. She told me that the current situation, in which the government is creating laws to circumvent all laws except the Criminal Code, is a nightmare.
Do the Liberals still believe in science and climate change, or are they just trying to eat the Conservatives' lunch?
