  • Re: Bill C-49 
Madam Speaker, I have a great liking for my colleague, the minister, and I hold him in high esteem. However, when I read Bill C-49, there was something that jumped out at me, and that is the name change. It incorporates the concept of clean energy. However, a careful reading shows that this bill applies mainly to offshore oil drilling. I hardly think offshore oil drilling qualifies as clean energy. I know that the minister criticized our Conservative colleague in the context of the devastating wildfires we went through this summer. We must listen to science. Sometimes, however, I get the impression that my colleagues in the Liberal Party are spinning the science and doing some greenwashing. I would like the minister to explain to us how exactly this bill applies to clean energy.
