Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, our government is working through regulations on a sector-by-sector basis in terms of dealing with emissions. It is important that we remember, unlike our friends on the other side who seem to forget, that there are two parts to the equation. There is the economy

Business of Supply   with that of the United States of America. We also have stated policy to align our greenhouse gas mitigation approaches with those of the U.S., as appropriate in the Canadian context. We are pursuing a sector by sector approach by developing regulated performance standards for the major emitting

Business of Supply   and coal sectors. Other sectors, like the oil sands sector, will also be dealt with at some future date. Other major industrial emitters in the heartland of Ontario and Quebec will also be brought into the plan. I am cautiously optimistic that our government will achieve its target

The Environment  . Our government's sector-by-sector approach, which is being developed by a robust consultation process, is designed to meet a tangible target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 17% below 2005 levels by 2020, while being cognizant of Canada's economic growth. This approach

House debate   with all Canadians about what is happening in the environment around them. That is why we take pride in the accomplishments of our excellent team at Environment Canada and the results that they deliver. Those results include: a sector by sector plan to align with the U.S. and achieve

Finance committee  Let me put you guys on the spot. If you were a federal minister, what would you do? If you had sector-by-sector, the B.C. carbon tax, or the Alberta carbon price for large emitters, and you were the minister and you had to choose one of the three, what would you do?

Finance committee   has worked on a natural gas initiative for a long time as part of that. I just wanted to pose a question to you and to the mining associations. Our approach is for sector-by-sector regulation. You've outlined what's being done in B.C. If you look at the Alberta plan, it basically

Environment committee  , and that's compatible with the United States. With the Copenhagen program, we now have many more nations involved, including the large emitters, in trying to achieve some objectives, and the government is working on a sector-by-sector basis through regulation to have an action plan

The Environment  , Canada ranks third in the world in terms of air quality. This is something all Canadians can take pride in. We take pride in our regulatory approach to greenhouse gases. We are moving forward sector by sector.

House debate  Mr. Speaker, we look forward to continuing to make progress toward our ambitious targets of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions by 17% from 2005 levels by 2020 through a sector by sector approach aligned with the U.S. where appropriate. We are a quarter of a way

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I again congratulate my hon. colleague on her appointment to the environment file. We do have a plan and that plan is working. We have committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions sector by sector and that plan is working. With regard to the Speech from

Environment committee   sector, and then we will move on to other large emitters sector by sector as we go around the wheel. We address transportation first because that is the largest single sector in terms of emitting greenhouse gases, but our commitment is there, and we have the funds to achieve those

Environment committee   emissions, a plan that takes a strategic sector-by-sector approach, a plan that focuses on real, measurable progress. And this plan, members, is already working. In partnership with provinces, territories, and others, we have already taken actions that will reduce greenhouse gas

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, as I said, we have a plan and our plan is working. We will continue to regulate sector by sector to achieve our climate change and greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. We started with the two largest greenhouse gas emitters in the transportation sector

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I would urge my hon. colleague to be more diligent and prudent in her research. Our government is firmly on track to meet our greenhouse gas emission reductions by 17% below 2005 levels by 2020. We have taken action in the transportation sector, a sector
