Mr. Speaker, the reason we have proceeded with Bill C-94, which is presently in third reading in the House and which would ban MMT, is essentially an environmental reason. MMT impairs catalysts and sensors in modern automobiles, which are supposed to lead to cleaner fuel emissions.
We want to ban MMT and follow the lead of many states of the United States-California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois-that are using reformulated gasoline without MMT. This is the option we have chosen, to use cleaner burning fuels, to use reformulated gasoline. So we are going to be committed to working very hard to make sure Bill C-94 becomes a reality very soon.
