Mr. Speaker, I just got back from COP27 on climate change. The Prime Minister's chief allies and counterparts, such as Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron, were there. Over 100 heads of state were there. Everyone was there, except the Prime Minister of Canada. Where was he? How is it possible that, between November 6 and 20, he could not even find half a day to show up and talk about climate change with the rest of the planet?

Mr. Speaker, as the leader of a G7 country, the Prime Minister had a privileged platform at COP27 to talk about climate change. Not only did he pass up the opportunity, he handed it over to oil companies. He invited six oil sands operators to make their pitch at a climate summit. He even asked his Minister of Environment and Climate Change to defend these oil companies by preventing COP27 from stating in its final declaration that oil and gas must be phased out. Did the Prime Minister ultimately boycott COP27 so he would not have to justify his record for the cameras?
