Mr. Speaker, the cost of the Trans Mountain pipeline now exceeds $30 billion. Yesterday, I asked the Minister of Environment and Climate Change if he was going to officially recommend that his government get out of this sinkhole. He responded that he was not the finance minister. Indeed, I was addressing the Minister of the Environment, the one who read the IPCC report, the minister responsible for Canada's role in the fight against climate change. Today, is he officially recommending that his government put an end to the Trans Mountain fiasco?

Mr. Speaker, it is going to be hard to get our fair share when it already costs $30 billion. According to what the IPCC chair said in his synthesis report, we have the know-how, the technology, the tools, the financial resources and everything we need to overcome the climate problems we have identified. What we do not have right now is a strong political will to resolve them once and for all. That is the core issue: the political will to walk away from Trans Mountain, as well as projects like Bay du Nord, offshore oil exploration, and more. Where is this political will that the IPCC is talking about? Where is it when it counts?
