Mr. Speaker, it is now clear that the government will not bring in a national ban on the bulk export of Canadian freshwater. Yet, on February 9 of this year that is precisely what the Liberals stood in the House and voted for when they supported an NDP motion to that effect.
Could the Prime Minister tell me why his government has abandoned its commitment to a national ban on bulk water exports and why it now labels as simplistic that which it supported only short months ago?
