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 really excited about our emissions reduction plan, as members can see. As a reminder to the hon. member, we are going to be investing in energy retrofit for greener homes and buildings, and establishing a greener electricity grid. We are going to reduce oil and gas emissions, which I know is important to the hon. member. Very, very importantly, we are going to support our farmers in agriculture to be more sustainable and put more money in their pockets. It is a great plan; it is an action plan.

Mr. Speaker, I do not know if the hon. member caught the emissions reduction plan we announced yesterday, but it is a road map for Canada to reach our ambitious climate targets. It is getting great reviews. I will just cite a couple of them. The Cement Association of Canada said the emission reduction plan “provides the cement industry with predictability”. Oil Sands Pathways said, “ With positive industry and government collaboration, Canada has an incredible opportunity to help provide for global energy security while being a leader in producing clean energy.”

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—
