Mr. Speaker, I think the minister mixed up Mr. Putin with the nine premiers I referred to.
I want the government to talk about its hypocrisy. The Prime Minister went to Texas and told the Americans that we would provide energy to the U.S. for the next 30 to 50 years from our tar sands. At home he said that we would ratify the Kyoto agreement which will severely handicap much of our fossil fuel future and will be Canada's NEP 2.
How does the government explain that contradiction?
