Mr. Speaker, I want to relay to the hon. member that our government is working on many fronts to address oil and gas emissions. On top of the cap to reduce oil and gas sector emissions, we are implementing the clean fuel standard to accelerate the adoption of cleaner fuel. We are putting a price on carbon pollution, as I have mentioned many times in this House. Importantly, we are phasing out fossil fuel subsidies two years ahead of schedule.

Mr. Speaker, the emissions reduction plan is ambitious, and it is achievable. It is a clear and robust plan that will get us to net zero by 2050. When we talk about oil imports, our oil imports have actually reduced. In fact, if the member is interested, the Canada Energy Regulator has said that we have imported the lowest amount of crude oil since 1988 and the majority of it comes from the United States.

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?
