I'm thinking of the old proverb that a dog returns to its vomit. Clearly, the Liberals haven't learned.
I want to turn to the broader part of your speech. It was not only on greenhouse gas reductions but on the need to talk about human health and the broader environmental question.
Down in Essex County, where I come from, of course, we have high miscarriage rates, high rates of respiratory ailments, and high rates of cancer. Clearly, human health effects on the broader pollution question are important.
In the last Parliament, one of the things I was very frustrated with was that whether we talked about water quality, water levels, air pollution, or smog, the one-word answer from the Liberal Party at the time was “Kyoto”. It seemed to be the panacea that was going to cure all ills. We know that's not true.
Can you elaborate a little more on everything from land conservation to water quality, and things like that? Can you talk about the broader environmental agenda, specifically with respect to human health and the importance of that?
I'm pleased the agenda is moving in that direction.
