Madam Speaker, I want to point out a few factual clarifications of things that have been said by a number of Conservative members. Canada currently has the lowest deficit in the G7. Canada has the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7. Canada still maintains its AAA credit rating. These things are factual. What is also factual is that the member is from Alberta, which is going through a very difficult time right now. I feel for the people whom he represents in terms of the wildfires we are seeing. Those severe and acute weather events are related to climate action. I would put to the member that now is not the time to make polluting free. Does he agree?
