Impact Assessment Act  Mr. Speaker, I am trying to understand the question in relation to the most important changes we are making to environmental assessments in a decade. I like riding my bike, if that is what the member of Parliament would like to hear. However, I will talk to the people in his rid

Impact Assessment Act  Mr. Speaker, before I begin, I wish to acknowledge that we are on the traditional territory of the Algonquin and Anishinabe peoples. Today, I am pleased to address the chamber in support of our government's bill for better rules for the review of major projects, Bill C-69. The a

Impact Assessment Act  moved: That a Message be sent to the Senate to acquaint Their Honours that, in relation to Bill C-69, An Act to enact the Impact Assessment Act and the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, to amend the Navigation Protection Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts, the

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, we have been clear. We need to take action on climate change. We need to grow our economy. What is also clear is that the party opposite is taking its marching orders from oil lobbyists. Conservatives do not believe that we need to take action on climate change. They

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, it is really unfortunate that the Premier of Saskatchewan, who came to COP21 with me, does not understand the importance of taking action on climate change, that we can no longer make it free to pollute. We have given and done exactly what we promised. We put a price

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, I really wish Conservative politicians would not say things that are false. We know that a family of four in Saskatchewan will receive $609. That is every family of four in Saskatchewan. We have been clear about this. What has not been clear, or maybe it is really c

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, it is shocking to hear a Quebec member speak out against environmental action and climate change action. We are working with the Quebec government, which has imposed a price on pollution. What is happening in Quebec? The economy is growing, there are good jobs and t

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I was very happy yesterday to announce with the Prime Minister that we will be taking action to ban harmful single-use plastics. We know we have a problem. We have too much plastics in our oceans, our lakes and our rivers, and we can do better. We know that we can ta

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, it is interesting to hear the Conservatives' questions. I want to wish them a happy World Environment Day and ask them if they will stand with us and vote in favour of our motion on the climate emergency. We must take immediate action on climate change and accept tha

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, when we are talking about talking points, look at the other side. Who is reading the talking points about how they are going to do less and less to protect the environment and tackle climate change? We are committed to taking action to tackle climate change. We have

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his advocacy to protect the environment. I would like to wish everyone across Canada a happy World Environment Day. We understand that taking action to protect the environment and tackle climate change is good for the environment, is go

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, Canadians want to know whether the Conservative Party will support our climate emergency motion, which is very simple. It basically states that climate change is real, that it is an emergency and that we need to meet our Paris targets. I have a simple question. Will

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I do not have to repeat talking points. I am just going to say the truth. The truth is that we have a climate emergency and we need to take action on climate change. Inaction costs us even more. We just found out that Doug Ford's “climate plan” is actually costing

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, let us be clear about what Premier Kenney said. He said that climate change is the “flavour of the month”. This is actually an existential threat. If we look at what is happening in Alberta right now, we see that forest fires are starting even earlier. I have anoth

Gasoline Prices  Mr. Speaker, let us talk about what we have done for Canadians. Families are $2,000 better off. We have raised 300,000 children out of poverty. We have created one million jobs with Canadians. There has been a 60% increase in foreign direct investment this year. At the same time
