Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister cannot help himself. He just has to be the centre of attention. He was the subject of an RCMP investigation. We know that he accepted a gift even though he did not authorize himself to do so. He is the first sitting prime minister to have been found guilty of multiple ethical violations. Let us see if he also gave himself the right to break other laws. His aides have had time to look into this. Did he or did he not declare his trip as a taxable benefit on his tax return? That is an easy question.

Mr. Speaker, once again, the Conservatives are flailing about in a desperate attempt to avoid talking about the day-to-day issues that matter to Canadians, from the housing crisis, which we are addressing with an extremely strong plan to help Canadians in our latest budget, to the green transition, in which we have invested billions of dollars to ensure jobs for generations to come as we fight climate change. These are issues the Conservatives do not want to talk about. They want to focus on me, but we will stay focused on Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, many indigenous, rural and remote communities are still heavily dependent upon diesel and other fossil fuels for heat and for power. Will the Prime Minister please tell the House what the government is doing to ensure that these communities and communities in rural and remote Canada are able to transition toward net zero?

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country for his hard work on protecting the environment. Advancing the transition to indigenous climate leadership is central to addressing climate change. It includes continuing to support indigenous, rural and remote communities by investing in indigenous-led and indigenous-delivered solutions to climate change and the transition to clean energy. It is why our strengthened climate plan invests $300 million to advance our commitment to ensure communities relying on diesel have access to clean, renewable and reliable energy by 2030.

Mr. Speaker, indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people are not safe as a result of successive Liberal and Conservative governments putting the privileges of big oil corporations over our safety and human rights. We saw this in the budget, which gives $2.6 billion to big oil, but zero new funding to implement all the calls for justice from the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. This is disgraceful. Will the government commit to increased investment to end this crisis of violence?

Mr. Speaker, our hearts are with survivors and families of missing and murdered indigenous women, girls, two-spirit and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people. Addressing this ongoing violence requires living up to the goals of our country and all the calls for justice. In June 2021, partners from across the country came together and released the national action plan, including the federal pathway to finally end this ongoing tragedy. It will be supported by budget 2021's $2.2-billion investment in concrete measures that will keep people safe.

Mr. Speaker, on April 4, the IPCC issued its latest and most stern climate warning. Globally, within three years, emissions must peak, and then they must drop dramatically in half by 2030. The only hope of holding to less than 2°C is if global emissions peak by 2025 and then drop in half by 2030. Two days later, the government approved Bay du Nord. Three days later, the budget said we are going to complete the Trans Mountain pipeline. In the face of this, my question is this: Why, with a choice of now or never, has Canada chosen never?

Mr. Speaker, Canadians know what is at stake in the fight against climate change. It is why we are stepping up our climate ambition by committing more than $100 billion to climate action, ensuring we reduce methane emissions by 75% by 2030 and transition to a net zero-emissions electricity grid by 2035. We are also doubling our commitment to $5.3 billion, to help developing countries fight climate change and protect biodiversity. We will continue delivering ambitious and achievable climate action that protects our communities and builds a healthy future for everyone.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. If you seek it, I believe you will find unanimous consent for the following motion. I move: That, given that: (a) there is clear and ample evidence of systematic and massive war crimes and crimes against humanity being committed against the people of Ukraine by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, directed by President Vladimir Putin and others within the Russian Parliament; and (b) the crimes committed by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation include: (i) mass atrocities in the invaded and occupied Ukrainian territories, (ii) systematic instances of willful killing of Ukrainian civilians and the desecration of corpses, (iii) forcible transfer of Ukrainian children to the Russian territory, (iv) torture and the imposition of life conditions causing grave suffering, (v) widespread instances of physical harm, mental harm and rape, the House recognize that the Russian Federation is committing acts of genocide against the Ukrainian people.

Mr. Speaker, there have been consultations among the parties, and I think you will find unanimous consent for the following motion: That the House call on the government to develop a policy of due diligence on corporate responsibility for human rights and the environment that would: require companies to prevent any negative impact on human rights and the environment through their global operations and supply chain; require companies to perform due diligence, including careful assessment of how they might contribute to human rights or environmental abuses abroad and ensure access to remedies for harm; ensure significant consequences for companies that fail to perform and report on adequate due diligence; establish a statutory right for aggrieved persons to seek justice in Canadian courts; and strengthen the Office of the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise by giving it the power to compel witnesses and testimony.

Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, today during question period, the Prime Minister danced around answering any questions about criminal charges that he could be being investigated for. I believe it is only fair that I share with all members of the House the criminal briefing documents from the RCMP on the Prime Minister's fraud against the government.
