Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for the question and for her activism on the issue of climate change. I want to reassure her. Fighting climate change is the reason why we brought in carbon pricing, one of the most ambitious such initiatives in the world. Fighting climate change is the reason why we are implementing zero emissions legislation to put more electric vehicles and zero emissions vehicles on our roads. Fighting climate change is the reason why we are making record investments, including investing $30 billion in public transit by 2030. Fighting climate change is the reason why we are putting a cap on greenhouse gas emissions and bringing in many other measures.

Context: House Hansard - 58 - Apr/26/22
Hon. Steven Guilbeault (Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Lib.)
Madam Speaker, my thanks to my hon. colleague for Saanich—Gulf Islands for retabling this bill. She is right: The government supports this bill. I also want to thank her for her many years and decades of activism on environmental racism because it is a thing, despite what some people, unfortunately even in the House, think. My question to the member is this. She touched on it, but can she elaborate a little bit on the science supporting the very fact and the very existence of environmental racism?
