Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of the Environment.
In 1992 at the Rio earth summit Canada agreed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2000. In 1994 the deputy prime minister and former environment minister committed to further cut CO2 emissions by 20 per cent. Yet in today Canada it is almost 10 percent above those levels.
When will the government finally show leadership and live up to its promise to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
