Similar to the argument that has been used by this government and previous governments about the environment versus the economy question, there has also been, more recently, a hyped argument that until China, India, and the other developing countries move, it is not an intelligent or wise decision for Canada to make such considerations, to invoke laws like this bill proposed by Mr. Layton.
Why has that not inhibited you from moving forward? Why do you not see it as a competitive disadvantage to do things about climate change, as our government has proposed at even the most recent talks in Bali?
