Claim: Adam van Koeverden says Conservatives are burying their heads in the sand
100%Based on my search of official Canadian parliamentary records, the claim that Adam van Koeverden said Conservatives are "burying their heads in the sand" is accurate.
Reasoning:
- Adam van Koeverden, Secretary of State for Sport, made this statement during official House of Commons Debates (Hansard No. 75) on January 28, 20261.
- The exact quote from the parliamentary record is: "The Conservatives can continue to bury their heads in the sand and pretend that climate change does not exist"1.
- The context was a discussion about food inflation and climate change, where van Koeverden was criticizing Conservative Party members for what he characterized as climate change denial1.
- Van Koeverden has been a Liberal Member of Parliament since 2019 and currently serves as Secretary of State for Sport in Prime Minister Mark Carney's Cabinet2.
Overall validity: 100%
