Mr. Speaker, we know that Canada ranks among the lowest when it comes to fighting climate change and among the highest when it comes to oil subsidies. Basically, this is bad news for the planet. When will the government cancel oil subsidies, invest in renewable energy and do what needs to be done to protect the planet?

Mr. Speaker, as the leader of a G7 country, the Prime Minister had a privileged platform at COP27 to talk about climate change. Not only did he pass up the opportunity, he handed it over to oil companies. He invited six oil sands operators to make their pitch at a climate summit. He even asked his Minister of Environment and Climate Change to defend these oil companies by preventing COP27 from stating in its final declaration that oil and gas must be phased out. Did the Prime Minister ultimately boycott COP27 so he would not have to justify his record for the cameras?
