Mr. Speaker, the climate crisis is putting everything we value at risk, yet the Liberals' emissions reduction plan clearly does not meet the urgency of the crisis, with inadequate ambition and massive subsidies to unproven carbon capture technology. The government continues to put the interests of big oil and gas above protecting the workers who are impacted by the climate crisis. Climate delay will not cut it. We must act now. With the upcoming budget, will the Liberals finally take the climate crisis seriously?

Mr. Speaker, I am not sure if the hon. member caught the emissions reduction plan announcement yesterday, but it is a practical road map to fight climate change and create good jobs as we build a clean economy. Here are a few of the highlights. We are going to make it easier and more affordable for— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, the greenhouse gas reduction plan presented yesterday is nothing but a half-measure, some wishful thinking. The government is still talking about potential reductions instead of real objectives and it is characterizing its commitment to “exploring measures that help guarantee the price of pollution” as progress. Come on. That reeks of promoting oil over addressing the climate emergency. Why is the government working so hard to hide Canada's oil problem instead of fixing it?

Mr. Speaker, yesterday's so-called emissions reduction plan sold Canadians a fairy tale. If only we give the oil and gas industry tens of billions more in subsidies for an unproven technology, the carbon intensity of their oil will magically disappear. We need a climate plan that lines up with what climate scientists tell us is required to hold onto the possibility of a maximum 1.5°C rise in global temperatures. Why is the Prime Minister gambling with big oil on a safe climate future for our kids, instead of making transformational investments in proven solutions?

Mr. Speaker, the emissions reduction plan announced yesterday is an achievable road map for Canada to reach our ambitious climate targets. That is 40% to 45% below 2015 levels. It is getting great reviews from environmental groups to banks, to those in the resource sector. Let me read a couple for the hon. member. The Pembina Institute says, “The Government of Canada's 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan...is a significant step forward in meeting the climate moment that Canada and the world face today.” Environmental Defence says that “the Government of Canada's emissions reduction plan provides the most comprehensive national climate action—
