Mr. Speaker, according to Carbon Brief, Canadians per capita are historically primarily responsible for climate change. Quebeckers are much less responsible. While an individual Canadian emits more than 21 tonnes of greenhouse gases a year, a Quebecker emits 9.8. That is less than half. Why? It is because we do not produce dirty oil in Quebec. However, we pay for this dirty oil when the federal government invests our money in projects such as Trans Mountain. Ottawa makes us unwilling accomplices to those who are responsible for climate change. Why not get out of dirty oil instead of getting Quebeckers into it unwillingly?
