Mr. Speaker, maybe they can exchange papers after question period instead and pay attention to the environment.
The government can study environmental investments all it wants but Canadian taxpayers are still on the hook for the following environmental disasters: the Three Gorges dam in China, $130 million; mine poisoning in Papua New Guinea, $88 million; and, a gold mine cyanide spill in Kyrgyzstan, $30 million.
How can the minister defend blowing hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on these disasters?
