Mr. Speaker, there is a difference of 38 megatonnes between the government's 81 megatonne emissions reduction target for the oil and gas industry and the 43 megatonnes that experts estimate the industry will actually cut. That is how much wishful thinking weighs. Yesterday, the UN Secretary-General described the discrepancy between what needs to be done to combat climate change and what politicians are actually doing as a “dangerous disconnect”. When will the Prime Minister understand that it is completely unrealistic to think that Canada can meet its targets without cutting oil production?
