Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to the minister for joining us.
I fully understand how important it is for any minister to stand up for their department and their government’s position. However, I must admit I have some difficulty in making a connection between the idyllic vision presented to us today and the reality I see on the ground.
Our environmental deficit has gone up exponentially. And since this government came to power, Canada has collected a huge number of fossil awards internationally. The first question that comes to mind is whether this is the result of a complete lack of understanding of the Canadian strategy on the part of the international community. Is it possible that Canada is not quite heading in the right direction?
