Mr. Speaker, this government has had months to prepare for the Kyoto conference. The environment minister has over 4,000 bureaucrats at her disposal and a budget of $.5 billion. The conference starts on Monday and she still does not even know what position she will be arguing for or against.
For months this minister has said that she is taking the matter very seriously. Canadians do not believe her any more. If she really did take this seriously she would have released Canada's position long ago.
What possible excuse does this minister have for not having a position ready to take to Kyoto?
