Mr. Speaker, the greenhouse gas reduction plan presented yesterday is nothing but a half-measure, some wishful thinking. The government is still talking about potential reductions instead of real objectives and it is characterizing its commitment to “exploring measures that help guarantee the price of pollution” as progress. Come on. That reeks of promoting oil over addressing the climate emergency. Why is the government working so hard to hide Canada's oil problem instead of fixing it?

Mr. Speaker, in his greenhouse gas reduction plan, the minister talks about reducing carbon intensity, which refers to the number of tonnes of greenhouse gases emitted in relation to the GDP. This is another attempt to avoid dealing with the climate emergency. We need to reduce actual emissions, and it is not fair for the government to be talking to us about green oil. Will the government finally acknowledge that green oil is like a square circle, a philosopher's stone or a vegetarian vampire, in that it does not exist?
