Mr. Speaker, those are empty words. This is after 13 years and our emissions are up by 35%. The environment commissioner said this about the last government's record:
On the whole, the government's response to climate change is not a good story. At a government-wide level, our audits revealed inadequate leadership, planning, and performance.
It has not been effective in leading and deciding on many of the key areas under its control. Change is needed.
Change has arrived and I again encourage the opposition to get past the rhetoric and fighting and work with the government to reduce emissions.
