When the Minister of the Environment appears here, he always says he buys carbon credits right away when he attends a conference outside Canada. Do you think we should encourage virtual participation instead? For example, I attend the COP international meetings virtually. It costs the taxpayers nothing and has no impact on the environment, especially since I drive to Ottawa in an electric car.
Do you think the government should have somewhat stricter rules when it comes to participating in events outside Canada, given how they present us with high-minded principles, but the environmental cost is much higher than if we were to participate virtually?
