Let me move to a different topic.
Canada has a deadline of February 23 to produce to the United Nations an update on our efforts on the Kyoto Protocol. It's a promise we made to analyze future cuts in emissions that this country is planning and the effectiveness of current action--a very specific and detailed analysis. Europe has already presented its report. Canada to this point has prepared nothing other than a list of announcements made--no analysis of effectiveness.
How is it that with a particular issue like this, which requires sincere global effort, Canada is presenting this disingenuous face to the world body and hoping to be seen as an honest broker in future negotiations?
