Mr. Speaker, I am surprised to hear the minister say that because the last meeting of the council of energy ministers was in June 1998.
When the minister does convene a summit I ask that four things be included on the agenda: immediate aid for those who need it; elimination of the GST and/or a reduction in federal fuel taxes; energy conservation components; and an approach to the OPEC cartel to restore oil production levels. Will he put those items on the agenda?
