Mr. Speaker, the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change's decision to approve the Bay du Nord project is bad news for the planet. The IPCC made it very clear that we need to curtail oil production. Canada, meanwhile, is going into expansion mode. The goal is more production, more drilling and more oil. In the fight against climate change, we have a choice: We can be part of the problem or part of the solution. We either pollute more or we change our habits. I would never have thought that this Minister of the Environment would one day be applauded by the Conservatives. Why has the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change thrown in the towel?

Mr. Speaker, there is one person here who approved one billion barrels, and he is on the other side of the House. Reducing emissions by 43% by 2030 means we all need to roll up our sleeves: governments, businesses and citizens. The minister's approval of Bay du Nord sends a very bad message, that it is no big deal. Talk about wishful thinking. The IPCC was clear. We must reduce our oil production and consumption now. By approving it, does he realize that he is contributing to climate warming here and abroad for years and years to come?
