Thank you, Chair.
I think it's important to remind committee members where we've come to at this point, at this moment. We're at clause 10. We have been through the substantive parts of this bill. This will be our seventh or eighth meeting—I'm just verifying that with the clerk—much of which has been filibustered by the government, hour after hour, delay after delay, tactic after tactic.
It seems to me and many others involved with this debate on climate change that the last thing we can afford is time, and the last tactic we should be using is delay. For too long this Parliament and Parliaments before have disappointed Canadians with our ability to tackle the issue of climate change. This government has been in office too long, but more than two years now, without a single regulation on climate change. Previous governments also struggled to meet Canada's commitment internationally and to Canadians.
