Mr. Speaker, protecting our environment, including the Arctic, has always been a priority of this government.
Including measures we put in place in budget 2012, specifically to respond to oil spills we have more requirements now for people who do not meet the terms of their environmental assessments and more stringent pipeline inspections, all in the context of our sector-by-sector regulatory reform package for greenhouse gas emissions.
When one is looking at countries that get the job done with regard to Arctic climate change mitigation as well as spill response and spill mitigation, it is Canada.
