Madam Speaker, the Conservatives are applauding the government's plan. That says it all. On Monday, the IPCC, the group of UN environmental experts, will be tabling a new report. In a report released last month, the UN said that the biggest polluters are guilty of arson on our only home. The UN warned all governments that this abdication of leadership is criminal. On Monday, when we read the IPCC reports and compare them to the plan Ottawa announced this week, will we be able to believe that Canada is doing enough?

Madam Speaker, on Tuesday we introduced our emissions reduction plan, which is a practical road map to fight climate change, create good jobs and build the clean economy. As just a few highlights, we are going to make it easier and more affordable for Canadians to switch to electric vehicles. We are going to invest in energy retrofits for greener homes and buildings, establish a greener electricity grid, reduce oil and gas emissions and very, very importantly, support our farmers as they move to more sustainable agriculture.

Madam Speaker, Canadians are still deeply concerned that the government has no plan to address skyrocketing food and gas prices. An inflation crisis, coupled with supply chain shortages, is forcing many businesses to raise prices anywhere from 25% to 40% just to stay afloat. Higher energy, fertilizer, wheat and corn prices are all impacting the cost of food here in Canada. When will the Prime Minister finally table a plan so that Canadians can feed their families?

Madam Speaker, Tuesday was a very exciting day: It was the day the emissions reduction plan was announced. It is a road map for Canada to reach our ambitious climate targets, sector by sector. It is getting great reviews from environmental groups, banks and the resource sector. Let me cite a few for the hon. member. Andrew Weaver, former leader of the Green Party, has praised it, as well as the World Wildlife Fund. There is also a very important one from David Suzuki, who says, “For the first time, Canada charts a credible path to 40% emissions reduction by 2030.”
