Megan Leslie’s second question for the Natural Resources Minister this afternoon.

Mr. Speaker, we really do have a minister for the 19th century because the Minister of Natural Resources fails to understand the impact of Conservative inaction on jobs, on the environment and on future generations. Instead, he attacks people who actually care about the environment. It makes me wonder if the minister actually believes in climate change. Is the minister a believer or a denier?

Joe Oliver said—"since we are into theology"—that he wished to inform the House that he believed "no project in Canada should go ahead unless it is safe for Canadians and safe for the environment. He proceeded with his complaints about "radicals" who are "are opposed to any development of hydrocarbons," none of which seemed to answer Ms. Leslie’s question.
