Mr. Speaker, my question is for the minister of energy and natural resources.
As she knows carbon dioxide is a primary cause of climate change and poses a threat as a greenhouse gas.
In view of the fact that there is a firm commitment to reduce carbon dioxide levels by 20 per cent by the year 2005, can the minister indicate to the House when she will be in a position to announce a federal-provincial plan for reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 20 per cent?
