Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are patting themselves on the back for their botched emissions cap. After two years of delays, they have announced a watered-down oil and gas cap that will not even cut emissions enough to meet the Liberals' own target. It will only meet the Conservatives' old target, and these are the same Conservatives who do not even believe this is a crisis. The Liberals are throwing young people's futures under the bus to make life easier for oil and gas companies. Will the minister get serious and fix the emissions cap?

Madam Speaker, I want to thank the member. I enjoy working with him on the environment committee in Parliament. The member brought up the oil and gas emissions cap, and I want to briefly touch on that. We know that the Liberals have been dragging their feet on this, and that the oil and gas companies have been aggressively lobbying for delays, loopholes and more subsidies. Therefore, we need a strong oil and gas emissions cap if we have any hope of reducing our emissions. However, the member did not answer my question, and so I will give him another opportunity. Why not force these rich oil and gas companies, which are making more money than God, to pay to reduce their own emissions?
