Mr. Speaker, the hon. member has correctly identified the question of acid rain as being of continuing importance. It is true that many advances were made in the eighties, in the early eighties in particular. It is also true that the problem continues.
We have the acid rain strategy as a result. We are working with our American partners to reduce acid rain emissions and we hope that will be successful.
In addition, he is incorrect in stating that the government is not pursuing the Kyoto agreement and its commitments under that agreement. As the Prime Minister said in the House on a number of occasions, that is precisely what we are doing. We are following through on our Kyoto agreement commitments.
