Mr. Speaker, climate change and global warming have contributed both in number and severity to many environmental disasters.
We ratified the Kyoto protocol because of that reality. Now the environment commissioner tells us that we will only meet 50% of our targeted quota for reducing greenhouse gases. We also hear that the future Prime Minister intends, as he did as finance minister, to slash department budgets.
Will the government commit today that funding for Kyoto will be secured and safe from the knife of the next Prime Minister?
