Madam Speaker, I have a couple of questions for the speaker.
He mentioned that one of the rationales behind banning MMT in Canada is that the North American market, which is much bigger than the Canadian market alone, has been MMT free. The Americans have been MMT free for some time, based on a decision in the United States that prohibited the use of the product.
Now the court decision appears to be allowing MMT to be used in the greater North American market and by far the bigger market will be having MMT starting almost immediately. The EPA has decided not to appeal the decision to allow MMT. Therefore it looks as if the Americans are going to have MMT soon.
None of the quotes from Saab, Honda, GM or other car maker has been tabled in this House. The government will not table them. Rather than forcing this bill, which has no scientific backing, through, would it not be wiser, based on that uncertainty about this greater gasoline market, to hold off on banning MMT in Canada if it is going to be allowed in the United States? I would like the member's opinion on that.
