· 22.03.2024 · 00:00:34 ··· ··· Friday ·· 5 (5)
Global News Speaking in question period on Thursday, Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman accused the Liberal government of living in a “fantasy land” ahead of an upcoming carbon pricing increase on April 1st as Canadians struggled to “put food on their table.”
Minister for Natural Resources and Energy Jonathan Wilkinson responded by saying that the Conservatives needed to “stop spouting falsehoods” and that Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre's “climate plan is essentially to let the planet burn.”
“Shame on you,” Wilkinson added. “The Conservatives essentially have a policy that is both reckless on the environment and reckless on affordability.”
Green Party Leader Elizabeth May added that the ongoing debate was “unserious and profoundly unfunny,” characterizing it as “a grotesque display of ignorance” and “rejection of the solutions.” May concluded that “Our children and grandchildren will not forgive us,” suggesting that scientific experts should be invited to “educate all members, take questions and focus on science.”
