Mr. Speaker, the recent revelation about the industry minister's views on the Kyoto accord follow statements he actually made in Alberta recently expressing serious reservations about ratifying the accord. He was concerned about the impacts on productivity, on investment and on our standard of living. He vowed to serve as industry's advocate in cabinet and publicly favoured an approach based on innovation and technological advances.
Will the Minister of Industry stand in the House today, express his reservations and state his official position on the Kyoto accord?
