Taxation  Mr. Speaker, the other day I listened to the MP for Mission—Matsqui—Fraser Canyon, who spoke so eloquently about his community, especially the community of Lytton, B.C., which we all know burned to the ground. The temperatures reached 50°C in the worst environmental disaster, the

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Mr. Speaker, I always enjoy the hon. member's interventions at the environment standing committee.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for Davenport.

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, the hon. member knows that our Prime Minister has been front and centre on the most ambitious climate plan in our history. We have invested over $100 billion since 2015 and $9.1 billion in our emissions reduction plan. It is a granular, detailed, sector-by-sector pl

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I think the hon. member would agree we need to work with everyone to achieve a just transition to a clean economy. Every sector has a role to play in cutting pollution, especially the oil and gas sector. We know the oil and gas sector must do more. That is why we are
