Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Minister, for being here today, and for keeping your answers short because our questions are going to be short. Thank you very much.
Mr. Minister, your colleague today confirmed that Canada will be withdrawing from the Kyoto Protocol this year, backing out of an international framework to deal with disastrous global warming. This month the International Energy Association confirmed that tracking climate change is more critical than ever.
Do you agree with the Environment Minister, and how are you going to justify this to Canadians?
