Mr. Chair, I appreciate where Mr. Rodriguez is coming from, in that he's got a private member's bill and he'd like to see it proceed. But we do have 60 days for that to be dealt with, to actually start the discussion, so there is no panic. The government, as he's quite aware, is going to table the clean air act this week. I think he would like to see Bill C-288 proceed before that, but in actuality we've heard from the commissioner very clearly that we need to work together, and I'm not seeing that as an attitude of being willing to work together. Mr. Chair, we have to work together to be able to achieve the goals the commissioner has given to us, to provide legislation that is going to be effective. Bill C-288 deals with a Kyoto initiative, which the commissioner very clearly said was not achievable, and to now try to repeat the mistakes of a previous government.... And it's ironic, Mr. Chair, that Mr. Rodriguez is supporting a leadership candidate who says that what Bill C-288 is trying to achieve is not achievable.
What is the point of proceeding with Bill C-288?
