Mr. Speaker, on behalf of many constituents, I rise to present a petition expressing their deep concern that Canada is off track to meet its targets under the Paris Agreement. These are not political targets but are based in the science, which demands that for the security of humankind, all life on the planet, our children and our grandchildren, we hold the global average temperature increase to no more than 2°C.
I will not read the petition, but many steps need to be taken that constitute bold climate action. The petitioners ask for the government to act swiftly.
