Mr. Chair, I'll be supporting the motion, but begrudgingly.
Bill C-288, as we've heard from the witnesses to this point, would have been relevant in 1998. We've heard to this point that we cannot meet our Kyoto targets, and I expect the science will support that. So Bill C-288, supported by the Liberals and the Bloc, is an irrelevant bill, and for us to be asking for witnesses to support an irrelevant bill, Mr. Chair, is a waste of taxpayers' dollars.
On the other hand, this is before the committee, and we have a list of witnesses, so under that spirt I will be supporting it--but begrudgingly.
