Gasoline Prices  Mr. Speaker, we have been absolutely transparent about what we are doing in acting on climate change. I am wondering whether the member opposite cashed his climate action incentive rebate, because 93% of Canadians who were entitled to it did so. We have put a price on pollution

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, we are very pleased that the garbage is coming back from the Philippines. We agree that it is unacceptable. In 2015, under the Harper government, a private company brought over waste to the Philippines. We have changed our rules so that it will not happen again. The

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, we always stand up for Canadians. I was very proud to see in the NAFTA that for the first time ever, there was an environment chapter in the body of the agreement. We have been taking serious action on climate change. The NDP came out with its plan, which adopts som

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, it is interesting to see the NDP now announce that it wants to do what we are already doing to fight climate change, but in a way that will decimate jobs and hurt employees. We have already seen their flip-flop on LNG Canada, the largest investment in Canada's histo

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives' climate plan is exactly as advertised. We just had the Conservative Party announce its climate plan: It is the jam-through-pipelines plan. What does it include? It includes making it free to pollute, in the face of energy companies saying there n

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, this is for Elizabeth Rose. We are absolutely committed to tackling climate change. Right now we have seen flooding in the national capital region and in New Brunswick. We have forest fires that have started earlier out west. We need to take action and that is exactl

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, we put a price on pollution. We are giving money back, such that 80% of Canadians are better off, better than advertised. We have created a million jobs for Canadians, better than advertised. We are phasing out coal and ensuring a just transition for workers, better

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I want to take us back to three and a half years ago. We went to Paris to negotiate an ambitious Paris Agreement after a decade of inaction. Who was with me? It was the member opposite. What did we talk about there? We talked about how we needed to take serious actio

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, it is interesting that the NDP motion was only moved after our motion was announced. They are playing politics with their motion. Our motion is clear and non-partisan. Together, we must recognize three things: first, that there is a climate emergency; second, that t

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, what Canadians want to know is whether the Conservatives understand that we are in a climate emergency. Does the Conservative Party understand that climate change is real and that it is accelerating? Does the Conservative Party understand that we can price pollutio

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, it is always very challenging in this House. On the one hand, we have a party whose members do not believe in taking climate action, who attack the price on pollution, pretending that we are not giving the money back and taking action to reduce emissions while puttin

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, of course we are in a climate emergency. That is why we moved a motion in Parliament. I want everyone to stand up and acknowledge that the science behind climate change is clear. Of course there is a climate emergency, and we need to meet our international obligati

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I would like to really thank my hon. colleague for raising what is happening in her riding. This is what is happening across the country. We have businesses that are innovating. We have cities and towns that are figuring this out. Imagine what we could do if we did
