Mr. Speaker, my question is for the acting prime minister.
In 2005 Canada must provide demonstrative evidence that our climate change strategy is on track. Substantive tax incentives for renewable sources of energy, energy efficiency, ethanol blended fuels and loan guarantees for energy retrofits to buildings were needed five years ago. These incentives were in the direct purview of the former finance minister, who this weekend in a somersault to revisionism said, “We should invest in green technologies”.
Everyone knew these incentives were needed. Who is the roadblock, the Prime Minister or the former finance minister?
