Madam Speaker, since it is my first time rising in the 44th Parliament, I want to take this opportunity to thank the wonderful people of Cowichan—Malahat—Langford for sending me here for a third term. It truly is an honour. In my time in the House, when we have talked of climate change, we have often heard excuses about the cost of transitioning off a fossil fuel-dependent economy, which ignores what the costs will be going on into the future, how they will absolutely dwarf the investments that need to be made now. I wonder if my colleague can answer two questions. First, we have seen what the projections are and does he think the current Liberal government's budget allocations are in any way going to be adequate to meet this challenge? Second, does he have any regret that the Liberal government invested all those billions of dollars in fossil fuel infrastructure, like the Trans Mountain pipeline?
