Mr. Speaker, something is wrong here if the Prime Minister is trying to stop the uncertainty, because billions of dollars of investment have been put on hold precisely because of his rush to ratify.
The government knows it will need provincial cooperation to implement Kyoto, but yesterday the Liberal Premier of B.C. said this:
There was an opportunity to work with the provinces--we have asked for that for months--and in fact the federal government decided it couldn't work with the provinces, for whatever reason.
Why has the federal government decided that it will go it alone and not work with the provinces on Kyoto?
