Mr. Minister, up to now, the only energy strategy that your government seems to have had is exporting the oil sands and jobs from here. It's clear that six years of inaction in the regulation of the oil sands has stood in the way of approval of the Keystone project. It's high time the government woke up and invested in clean energy. The United States, per capita, is investing at the rate of 18 to 1 in renewable energy.
This government has created the ecoENERGY program. Why not create jobs by diversifying our energy economy and really investing in renewable energy?
