Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Minister, we asked the first question about the environmental bill for your trip to Dubai. Very attentive people who follow our debates inform me that a return trip to Dubai generates 18.1 tonnes of CO2. So I trust you to personally compensate for those emissions in your own way. It isn't up to the department to do so, but to you personally, since you were the one who went there. You will recall that, when you became minister, you said that you were going to cross Canada by train. I know you really believe in it, so show it with an approach to offset those 18.1 tonnes of CO2.
Speaking of travel, the minister appointed a Canadian ambassador for climate change, Ms. Stewart. The QMI agency has reported quite spectacular figures in terms of travel. In her first year in office, Ms. Stewart made 23 trips abroad. Of course, she didn't go to Maine. She went to Paris, Lisbon, Rome, Florence, Abu Dabi, Bali and London. She likes to travel. That's about one trip every two weeks. I understand that she is an ambassador and that, theoretically, she has to represent Canada. We understand that.
However, Mr. Minister, I'd like to ask you a question and have you answer it sincerely, since we know each other well. Does a biweekly trip make sense?
