Mr. Speaker, just a few days ago, the IPCC released an alarming report. This is an emergency. The future of our children and grandchildren is at risk. We must take bold action. The Minister of Environment took action: He approved a new fossil fuel project. He will continue to hand out billions of dollars to oil and gas companies. He could have said no to this project, but he said yes to more oil and more emissions. Does the minister understand that an additional billion barrels of oil is not a green project?

Mr. Speaker, just days ago, the IPCC released a scathing report saying the planet is burning. The Minister of Environment called it “sobering”. If we have any chance of beating the climate crisis, we need to urgently transition away from fossil fuels, invest in green energy and support workers, yet he just approved Bay du Nord, a massive fossil fuel project that will add the equivalent of seven million cars to the road. Why is the minister ignoring the science and putting Canadians at risk?
