Mr. Speaker, today is World Environment Day and a lot of the things that we talk about in the Chamber will not matter in 50 years if we cannot drink the water, breathe the air or go out in the sun.
The Minister of the Environment will be aware of the studies that were released showing that the basis of the Canadian position with respect to carbon sinks is not as sound as the minister has often made out.
Is the minister considering changing the position of the Government of Canada with respect to carbon sinks so that our position on greenhouse gas emissions can be one that makes some material contribution to reducing those emissions rather than a theoretical one based on a false theory to begin with?
