In the future, the Bloc will not fail to remind the government and the other parties of the promise they made to Aboriginal peoples and will not rest until all 94 TRC calls for action are implemented. [...] The work of the Joint Climate Action Committee (JCAC) is mainly aimed at integrating the climate priorities of First Nations into federal programs and the Bloc Québécois is in favour of this, as long as the inherent rights of Aboriginal nations are respected, including the right to self-determination. That said, it is Quebec's environmental laws and policies that protect the environment in Quebe. [...] In September 2020, the Bloc Québécois released its Recovery Plan. The result of a vast consultation across the regions of Quebec, the Bloc Québécois' plan was based on the transfer to Quebec of the financial means required to fight against COVID-19 in its areas of jurisdiction and on an ambitious green recovery focused on the regions. [...] We are building on knowledge and innovation to accelerate the transition to a green economy and economic and social development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. [...] If the government's economic recovery dollars are to serve the ecological transition, the wealth and economic growth they generate must translate into a reduction in the environmental impacts and GHG emissions that accompany economic activity. Creating wealth by reducing the impact on the environment is the condition that must be met in order to truly speak of a green recovery.
