When we show up at international meetings...I recall the last minister, your predecessor, talking to other environment ministers around the world about our targets and not referring to the actual baseline that she was using at the time, which was 2003. You've now moved it to 2006. There is no other country—I'll inform you if you don't know—that is a ratifier to the Kyoto Protocol using the baseline that your government has suggested.
When this breaks down to a question—you've talked about accountability and trust on such an important issue—you are asking Canadians to trust your government when it has not received a single validation from any of the environmental groups working in this country on this issue, not one on this plan. Your suggestion is that your government, a new convert, as you say, to the issue of climate change...to trust you over that, using baselines and showing up at international events trying to push other countries. And as you've said, Canada will not have a leg to stand on if it continues to fail and to mislead.
When your government brought forward the Clean Air and Climate Change Act, it was sent to committee. Many Canadians looked at this as a way for Parliament to attempt to work together. Amendments were moved by members from your party and accepted, by members from all of the opposition parties and accepted, and some failed. I assume you didn't have the expectation that you were going to get everything you wanted out of that negotiation, did you?
