Madam Speaker, unlike the Conservatives, we believe that it is possible to grow the economy, improve people's quality of life and fight climate change.
What they want is to get rid of all climate measures. This attitude is completely irresponsible and worthy of the biggest climate deniers, given that we know full well that climate change still exists.
Instead of saying that we need to scrap all environmental protections, what I want to hear them say is what we could do to break free from oil and gas and improve the financial situation of Quebeckers, who spend more than $10 billion a year on oil and gas that needs to be imported. Instead of doing that, we could be electrifying our transportation, sending the money to Hydro-Québec and generating profits that could be invested in health care, education, roads and improved public transit, for example. There are plenty of solutions out there, but the Conservatives would rather turn a blind eye.
