Mr. Speaker, genius is a rare commodity on the government benches.
The Minister of Finance said on the weekend in an interview that when he was Liberal environment critic he was tremendously “deceived” by Rio because governments did not live up to their commitments. I know this is a concept with which he is familiar, being the minister responsible for the GST.
The finance minister is part of a government that has held office for four of the five years since Rio. I would like to know what his government has done to live up to those commitments.
