Mr. Speaker, I think that the level of our emissions compared to the rest of the planet is not the issue. What is important is how we take our responsibilities, as Canadians and as Quebeckers, with regard to a universally recognized problem.
I will remind members that Canada, if we exclude Quebec, is the worst polluter per capita in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. Australia may be worse than we are some years. However, last year, Canada was again the worst polluter per capita in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, we have a great responsibility to succeed in meeting our Kyoto targets, which call for a reduction of our greenhouse gas emissions to 6% below 1990 levels.
