Mr. Speaker, perhaps the Conservatives could read the rest of the report, because there are some pretty stark warnings in there.
Yesterday it was pretty disheartening to hear the Conservative government claim again that it has no responsibility whatsoever to protect Canadians from potentially toxic substances in hydraulic fracturing fluid. Conservatives know that Health Canada and Environment Canada have responsibility over these toxic substances. Industry already agrees that public disclosure is the best practice.
Why is the Minister of the Environment shirking his responsibility?
