Mr. Speaker, I remind the hon. member who may have forgotten that in his own response to the prebudget speech in the House of Commons on February 1, 1994 he took the position that we should maintain and increase federal support for the environment.
I also underline that even the leader of the Bloc Quebecois has stated in the House that the federal government has very clear jurisdiction in the area of environmental impact assessment. That jurisdiction is not challenged.
Our job here is to develop environmental standards which can work for the whole country. That is what I was elected to do. I would hope that the member would stop being a mouthpiece for one province and would start working for all Canadians.
