Mr. Speaker, imagine my surprise when I discovered that the Leader of the Opposition challenged the very existence of a global warming problem.
Are he and his fellow Reformers the only ones who continue to believe that global warming would be good for Canada's climate, that air polluted by smog is a tasty delicacy? Perhaps they think that global warming is an international conspiracy. Or are they all members of the flat earth society?
I thought the world hit an all time environmental low when Ronald Reagan challenged the existence of acid rain. Today I am not so sure because I cannot believe an educated man like the Leader of the Opposition would make the ridiculous statements he made in the House last week.
Global warming is a real problem. All of us as Canadians must work together to help solve the problem of excessive greenhouse gas emissions. I hope that the Leader of the Opposition will be helping us to protect the global environment in the future.
