Well, clause 1 is the short title, as I just said. I will be speaking on the preamble after we deal with this.
On the short title, it says:
This Act may be cited as the Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act.
That's what we're talking about.
The only point I would make is that it's unfortunate the previous government didn't do what it should have done when it had the opportunity. So this Bill C-288 is mischief. It's trying to make the Liberals appear to care now about the environment, with the support of Bloc members and, unfortunately, the NDP.
Mr. Chair, it's all about optics; it has nothing to do with reality. We heard from the witnesses. Every one of the witnesses, except for one, said this bill is unachievable. We had a scathing report by the commissioner on the previous government for lacking leadership and lacking a plan. We had a scathing report from the witnesses. Yet we're forging ahead with a bill that is not enforceable. Their plan is to spend billions of dollars to buy targets, and there are not enough targets out there—credits they can buy—as we heard as recently as two days ago. So the plan, which has been amended on the fly, is a bad bill.
The Government of Canada has a good bill and will definitely will not be supporting their plan to disrupt and sabotage the plans of the government.
