Mr. Speaker, the parliamentary secretary does not know what it means to give direct answers to the questions asked of him.
The Prime Minister is asking for special status for Canada in order to continue to renege on Canada's commitment to Kyoto, which set a 6% reduction target for greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels. It is interesting that the Prime Minister refuses to implement here in Canada what he is petitioning for internationally.
Why not offer Quebec, a Kyoto supporter, special status when it comes to the environment, which would allow it to reach the Kyoto targets?
