Mr. Chairman, it's not the Bloc Québécois that doesn't agree, it's all of Quebec. Minister, did you hear the Quebec Minister of the Environment, Ms. Beauchamp, state yesterday that she refuses to use 2006 as a base year because that will penalize businesses that took early action in the past? Have you been deaf to the message that the Quebec Minister of the Environment has been sending you, that we do not accept this plan because it contains rules that have several unacceptable loopholes and that will penalize Quebec?
Will you accept what the Bloc Québécois has been asking for since 1997 in the House, that is to use 1990 as a base year, as set out in the Kyoto Protocol, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions? Will you not admit that using 2006 as a base year will not lead to true greenhouse gas emissions reductions, and that all you're doing is benefiting your oil friends, who are the economic basis of Canada?
