It's a private members bill, so hopefully it won't see the light of day. With that being said, it may be a harbinger of things to come. To have a member of a G7 parliament, of a party that sits at 20% in the polls, and holds the swing vote/power in a minority Government is mind boggling. From the article: "It means it would be illegal for an oil or gas company or employees thereof to say that natural gas emissions are 40 per cent lower than coal and 20 per cent lower than oil (a scientific fact) and therefore we should exploit more natural gas resources. It means that noting the enormous opportunity for economic prosperity that oil and gas offers multiple First Nations communities would be criminalized, even if it were a First Nation itself making the argument. It means stating the fact — I emphasize not opinion, but verifiable fact — that oil and gas contribute billions of dollars to our economy and therefore are a vitally important economic engine that should be exploited could land someone in jail."
