Mr. Speaker, I obviously do not agree with the Minister of the Environment on that, but I will go to the Minister of Transport.
One of the other ways we are endangering our commitment to the Kyoto accord is by having the kind of trucking regulations we have: long hours for drivers, increased weight capacities, et cetera, all of which permit the trucking industry to compete with rail in a way it should not be allowed to, rail being the superior environmental alternative.
Is Minister of Transport considering changes to regulations to give the benefit of the doubt to rail so as to encourage more rail transportation and less trucks on the highways?
