GATINEAU, QC – The Hon. Andrew Scheer, Leader of Canada’s Conservatives and of the Official Opposition, today unveiled his plan to fight climate change and protect Canada’s environment.“Conservatives have a proud legacy when it comes to protecting Canada’s natural environment and improving Canada’s environmental performance,” said Mr. Scheer. “Our record of environmental achievement stands in stark contrast to the Liberal record of failure.”Conservatives created and expanded the National Parks system, negotiated the Canada-US acid rain treaty, brought in the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, and much more.

Today, the Hon. Ed. Fast, Member of Parliament for Abbotsford, responded to Justin Trudeau’s attempt to bury the SNC-Lavalin scandal with $41 billion in new government spending.“Justin Trudeau thinks he can distract Canadians with their own money,” said Fast. “He shut down the Justice Committee’s investigation into the scandal, and he refuses to let Jody Wilson-Raybould speak. The recent federal budget cannot be taken seriously. It is nothing more than a cynical election year cover-up.
