Yes, we can, but the point is, Mr. Chair, that it's very easy to set big, ambitious targets when you never reach them. This is exactly the track record of this government. They have never gained, never attacked....
The Liberals never got to where they should be. We are the only G7 country whose emissions have gone up rather than down. That is the track record after eight years of Liberal governance.
Need I remind you that, last year, the UN concluded that, after eight years of Liberal governance, Canada ranked 58th out of 63 countries in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions? The only times that the targets were met, or rather that we experienced a reduction, was during the COVID‑19 pandemic. I am sorry, but if anyone wants to shut down the economy once again, we will not be on board. That said, everyone has their own approach.
The Liberals spent eight years using rhetoric and lecturing others around the world, but nothing came of it. That is the Liberal track record.
Yesterday, the minister made an ambitious announcement saying that the government had a very high target and that, in that respect, Canada was a world leader. That's all well and good, but it may be more credible if it were a world leader in results, not in announcements. Again, everyone has their game plan.
Concerning methane, I want to say that last week I met with a group of people who are working on that source of pollution. I assume that I am not the only one, by the way, since they were in a meeting. This is extremely interesting, especially since the federal government studied their proposals and came to positive conclusions. It's the same with the provincial government—
