Mr. Speaker, the member has made quite a point in the last little while about asking questions and holding the government to task about the high price of fuel in this country and what the government is going to do about it.
The government does collect $4.5 billion in fuel tax and have put back a measly $150 million into the roads. I agree with the member on that.
I also want to get into the realm of environment. It has been suggested by some that in order to meet our Kyoto commitments, which the government agreed to a year or two ago, that we would need to have a carbon tax, a green tax or some kind of tax on the price of gas at the pumps in order to change the habits of people so they would use less.
Would the member explain his party's position. Does his party support meeting the Kyoto protocol? If so, how does it plan to do it? Is a carbon tax at the pumps one of the suggestions that his party is backing?
