Mr. Speaker, on Friday, Reuters reported about another $3 billion for the Trans Mountain pipeline. Ottawa co-signed two other loans, in late March and early May, and finally published them quietly last week on a website that has little traffic. Climate change is happening now; it is happening today. We are right in the middle of it. How much longer will the federal government persist in wasting billions of dollars to export dirty oil in the middle of a climate crisis?

Madam Speaker, we said it at the time. It is about transitioning the economy. Oil is still going to be produced. Energy is still going to be relied on. I know that when the leader of the Bloc Québécois was minister in the provincial government, he was seeking to engage in oil exploration in Quebec. Again, this is about transitioning. It is an existing pipeline that is going to be doubled to get the same amount of oil to different markets. Let us talk about climate change while the Conservatives are doing nothing.
