Mr. Speaker, I am tabling this supplementary report from the Bloc Québécois in the House today to try to make the main report on the study of the 2030 emissions reduction plan more ambitious. These reports are the result of the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development's first study in this Parliament, a study that was proposed by the Bloc Québécois.
We proposed this study to respond to the dangerous and increasingly real risk that Canada will not meet its greenhouse gas reduction targets. We proposed it because, despite what is currently happening on the international stage, the climate crisis has not gone away. It has not been put on pause because of tariff wars or armed conflicts, particularly the one in Iran. On the contrary, these tensions are happening at a time when extreme climate events are on the rise and they only serve to emphasize the urgent need to take action here and now to end our dependence on oil.
The Bloc is pleased to see that the main report recommends that the federal government update its climate action plan by the end of June to clearly demonstrate that it intends to meet the 2030 target. That is essential. Solutions exist. What is lacking is political will. The government needs to get its act together after having abandoned and even gutted many of its climate measures.
In this supplemental report, the Bloc Québécois recommends an immediate moratorium on all new oil and gas projects, an end to fossil fuel subsidies, and 11 concrete measures that the government can and must implement.
Canada and Quebec have everything to gain from quickly moving away from fossil fuels—in terms of the environment, society, the economy, public health and future job creation. The transition must happen now, not in 2050.
