Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for her ongoing advocacy for climate action. At a time when we are seeing wildfire season starting in some regions of the country in February, and when last year we saw the worst wildfire season on record, with thousands of people evacuated from their homes, we need to name the fact that rich oil and gas CEOs are culpable in the climate disasters that are happening in our country and the government is letting them get away with it.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are worried about the climate and they expect their government to take action. People are struggling to pay their bills, yet oil and gas CEOs are polluting our planet while raking in record profits and bonuses. In some cases, they have upped their own salaries by 75%. For far too long, the Liberal government has been stacking the deck in favour of billionaires at the expense of Canadian workers and the environment. Will the Liberals rein in these obscene bonuses by making oil and gas CEOs pay what they owe?
