Mr. Speaker, today is Clean Air Day yet the government is suffocating in a smog of backstabbing and infighting. It backpedalled on Kyoto. It is now sitting on a report showing it could reduce fossil fuel consumption and save the family farm.
Mandating ethanol as a fuel additive could reduce vehicle emissions by 30% and increase farm commodity prices at the same time: 45% for corn and 66% for vegetable oils.
Why does the Prime Minister not get rid of the stench permeating his government and start by legislating mandatory blend of ethanol gasoline in Canada? It would be good for the environment and good for farmers.
