Mr. Speaker, last week in Washington, the Deputy Prime Minister announced Canada's new foreign policy on energy to the world. What is Canada's new policy? Well, it is the same as the old one: sell more oil and gas. Sorry, planet, the Deputy Prime Minister announced that Canada will fast-track energy projects to export more fossil fuel. Drill, baby, drill. This confirms what many already thought. In essence, what Canada did in Washington was drive the final nail into the coffin of its fight against climate change. Is that accurate?

Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Natural Resources is answering my question, and that really says it all. The policy that the Deputy Prime Minister announced in Washington reveals that Canada was basically just looking for a pretext to sell even more oil and gas. It found one. So much for fighting climate change. Canada is back to exploiting fossil fuels in a big way. The Liberals are going full steam ahead. The government is trying to use the war in Ukraine to sell more oil despite the climate crisis. Who wrote the Deputy Prime Minister's speech? Was it the leader of the Conservative Party?
