The Environment  Mr. Speaker, again I would remind my colleague that we have a sector-by-sector regulatory plan. We first treated and addressed the emissions from the transportation sector, the largest emitting sector in Canada. We then generated regulations for the coal-fired electricity

When one is looking at countries that get the job done with regard to Arctic climate change mitigation as well as spill

We have taken numerous actions in the Arctic on climate

House debate   actually had an opportunity to consider the NDP's climate change platform in the last month, during our election, and it was soundly rejected. Our plan, the best plan for it, is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions sector by sector, aligning with the U.S. where appropriate. With regard

We campaigned to focus on the economy, to bring sector-by-sector change, reform and restructuring, to make Canada's economy stronger and to make our business environment the best in the world.

We understand the importance of the information and communications technologies, in which investments in R & D are the largest in the private sector.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, as I reported earlier this year and as we go sector-by-sector, we see constant benefits. We are heavily into the benefit side of the two sectors already regulated. The results can be found on the Environment Canada website. We are halfway to achieving our Copenhagen

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, in comparison to the lip service of the previous Liberal government, we do have a climate change plan, a sector-by-sector plan, which does not involve the carbon tax that they favoured. When I go to Doha next week, we will work to engage other countries to write

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, first of all, to correct my colleague, today's announcement of regulations from 2017 to 2025 follow on regulations announced a year and a half ago, two years ago for the model years 2011 to 2016. Our accounting methods for our sector-by-sector approach have been

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, that is a slight mischaracterization of our exchange yesterday in committee. Our sector-by-sector plan to reduce GHG emissions started with the regulation of the two sectors that contribute the greatest number of megatonnes every year: tailpipe emissions and coal

Environment committee   of implementing sector-by-sector greenhouse gas reductions to meet our Copenhagen 2020 targets, those costs are borne on the basis of polluter pays. The sectors pay. We've done it in a very non-prescriptive manner, unlike some other countries that use the regulatory tool. We've done
