Madam Speaker, I would like to know whether it is optional or not, but anyway. These three parties are deliberately turning a blind eye to fossil fuel funding. Just last year, Canada's five big banks invested $142 billion in the industry. The CEO of Scotiabank spoke for all five when he said, “We should move away from emission reductions at all costs”. Bankers speak the same language and share the same goal as the oil companies; they want to profit as much as possible from pollution. We want to force the banks to disclose their dirty oil assets. The other three parties want them to invest in secrecy. Why?
