The Environment  Mr. Speaker, sadly, I know the member opposite is leaving this House. I want to thank him for his efforts on so many files, including on the tanker ban. I am concerned about what happened. We campaigned on this. We believe that this is critically important. I will do whatever I

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, let us be clear. The reason municipalities are having challenges with sewage is that the previous government made no investments in waste water treatment facilities. We have made historic investments. I have seen it here in Ottawa, where we have made investments that

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, we are committed to meeting the targets. We have a plan that gets us three-quarters of the way there without even factoring in things like investments we are making in public transportation, the doubling of protected nature, the investments in innovation and action b

The Environment  moved: That the House recognize that: (a) climate change is a real and urgent crisis, driven by human activity, that impacts the environment, biodiversity, Canadians' health, and the Canadian economy; (b) Canadians are feeling the impacts of climate change today, from flooding,

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 32(2), I have the honour to table, in both official languages, Canada's climate change report for 2019. This report is about how and why Canada's climate has changed and what changes are projected for the future.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, in this day and age, Conservative politicians do not understand that the environment and the economy go together. There was a time when Brian Mulroney took serious action on environmental challenges. What did he do? He tackled the biggest challenge I remember when g

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I am so happy to hear the member opposite talk about the environment. I did not think he had ever heard the word. Climate action is indeed necessary. We have a plan. Do the opposition members want to join us in combatting climate change and growing our economy? We

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, three and a half years ago, I was with the member opposite. We brought members of all parties to COP 21, including the member opposite. We stood with the world to negotiate an ambitious Paris agreement. I was extremely proud that we had members of all parties there.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, it is like whiplash here in the House of Commons. On the one side we have the Conservatives, who do not want to take climate action and do not seem to understand the economic opportunity, and on the other side we have a party that is attacking us. Liberals are taki

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the price of gas has gone up 1¢ because of the price on pollution, but in the party opposite, all they do is spread misinformation, whether it is Doug Ford or Jason Kenney or the party opposite, who refuse to actually tell their constituents in their flyers that the

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, I feel like the party opposite is worried about debt and worried about costs, but it should be worried about the costs that we are passing on to our kids, the cost of climate change. We have an emergency here, and the party opposite is not telling the truth to Canad

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, that is something that has to be corrected here, because it is a real problem. We are actually building better rules for approval of major projects. No one gets a pass. The whole point is making sure that we have rules that rebuild the trust of the public in how we

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, it is clear that there is a climate emergency, and it is evident across Canada. People, families and homes in the national capital region have been affected by floods. We have a plan. I would like to know what the NDP's plan is, since it is not very clear. We have

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, it seems that the leader has a plan to leave 10,000 workers behind, because he has flip-flopped on a project that was approved by an NDP government in B.C. that is all in on climate change. We all need to come together on climate change. That is why we brought in a

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I guess what is advertised is that the Conservatives do not have a plan for the environment. They do not have a plan for the economy. They do not understand that climate change is a serious problem and that we can do both. We can tackle climate change and we can gr
