Madam Speaker, the member opposite, the parliamentary secretary, said that the Conservatives do not talk about climate change. A government scientist said that the disaster that happened in my riding in December was related to climate change.
I have been in the House for many years, beating my head against the table, asking the government for a response in order to protect the breadbasket of British Columbia, the critical supply chains that run through my riding, the second-largest airport, and a border crossing. All I have received from the government is crickets with respect to an area that is completed related to Canada's ability to export to foreign markets.
When will the government take seriously the issues affecting the Sumas Prairie, Abbotsford and the flood infrastructure needed to protect Canadian exports and Canadian agriculture, and provide some semblance of security for the farmers and the people who call this place home?
