The Environment  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have suddenly realized that green-lighting the expansion of Trans Mountain will not wash, especially after declaring a climate emergency the day before. Now they are trying to create a diversion by saying that any profits from the pipeline will go into a

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, we already know that saying one thing and doing the opposite is the hallmark of the Liberal Party. However, declaring a climate emergency one day and approving the expansion of a pipeline that will emit as much pollution as three million cars the next day goes beyond

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I listened closely to my colleague's speech. I feel that the Liberals are taking action at the last minute. Last night, they made us vote on a motion recognizing the climate emergency, but they have done practically nothing over the past four years when they were in

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question and for giving me an opportunity to speak to that issue. Unfortunately, the Liberals often use that argument to attack the NDP's plan. It is not quite accurate. I want to clarify and set the record straight. Obviously, we are t

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Louis-Saint-Laurent for his highly relevant question. That was not the first time he asked it and I feel as though I will be hearing it a lot over the coming months. The hon. member for Louis-Saint-Laurent demonstrated what the NDP has been

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I listened with interest to the parliamentary secretary's speech and his endless litany of ineffective half-measures. I am not impressed. After four years in power, the Liberal record on the environment is absolutely abysmal, especially when it comes to reducing gr

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. One thing is certain: once the Conservatives sink their teeth into something, they hold on tight and do not let go. Unfortunately, they do not have an alternative plan. The Liberal government is being hypocritical. It says one t

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House to table a petition from the Elizabeth Fry Society. This organization is very concerned about the situation of many children in Canada whose parents are in vulnerable situations, for example, parents who are in prison or homeless.

Department of the Environment Act  moved for leave to introduce Bill C-462, An Act to amend the Department of the Environment Act (greenhouse gas reduction action plan). Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague from Kootenay—Columbia for seconding this important bill. The environment and climate change are the

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, we know the Liberals broke their promise to eliminate subsidies—

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, we know the Liberals broke their promise to eliminate oil subsidies. Along with the rest of the G20, they also promised to eliminate inefficient subsidies. The problem is that they do not understand the meaning of the word “inefficient”. The commissioner of the envi

Fisheries Act  Mr. Speaker, voters will definitely remember that, in 2015, the Liberals promised that they would do things differently, that they would respect Parliament and the democratic process and that they would not not systematically impose gag orders. These days, we see that they are
