Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question as well as for the advance notice he was generous enough to provide me during question period.
The MMT bill has a number of different venues and different thoughts. Currently there is a 30-day period for the government to reintroduce and reannounce bills from the Order Paper.
He rightly mentioned that trade is one issue. I am appreciative that my colleague, the minister of trade, advised me of his position through the Financial Post . Unlike him, I think I will take some quieter soundings because there are many different opinions vis-à-vis MMT. One of them is the motor vehicle community which makes very strong claims that MMT gums up the onboard diagnostic systems which control emissions. As the Minister of the Environment I am concerned about the kinds of emissions we have in terms of greenhouse gases.
We certainly will take all of these points of view into consideration before proceeding to reintroduce the bill.
