Mr. Speaker, it is my turn to speak about Bill C-48. I cannot help but start with a few comments on what I just heard from the Liberal government and its spokespersons here today.
It is rather arrogant on their part to tell us from the outset that in the end no one is in a better position to establish high environmental standards than the federal government. This is what they said. They even went so far as to say that the provincial governments may be motivated only by electoral considerations.
What is the motivation across the aisle? What is the motivation of all those hypocrites?
