Mr. Speaker, a few years ago at the meeting in Rio Canada made a commitment to be at the 1990 level by the year 2000. The leader of the Progressive Conservative Party was there. It made a commitment.
We are asking Canadians to have the level that is projected for the year 2000, by 2007 or 2008. The cost is less than what was committed to some years ago in Rio. I recognize, as did the government of the day, that it is an important problem for every country.
