So I would make a suggestion for all of us. We may want to hear at all times from folks who are appointed to different jobs, just as a matter of opportunity, to find out more about them and their backgrounds and where they intend to take agencies like the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency or to pull any other organization out of a hat. So I would make a plea, Mr. Chair, that perhaps at the subcommittee that could be dealt with.
I'd like to ask something, Mr. Chair, as a point for open consideration. The President of the United States was here last week. There is a discussion starting between Canada and the United States on energy and environment. Certainly I don't have and I don't know if any other member here on any side of the House has any understanding yet of what that really means. Does the government intend to bring any of this to committee, in cooperation with the opposition parties?
I think there are ministers in Washington on different files. This is a good thing for Canada. We're strengthening our relationship with Washington. But on this particular file of environment and climate change, cap and trade, carbon pricing, and all of these things, is the government in a position to help us understand whether we can play a role in working cooperatively with the government to achieve the right outcome?
We have absolutely no knowledge of anything that's going on. Is that not a potential topic that Mr. Warawa may want to take up with his minister and find out whether we can be of help here at this committee?
