Mr. Speaker, first, a quick thanks to Ernie Eves last night. His admiration for the former finance minister makes great footage for Jack Layton's election ads.
First the new Liberal leader says glowing things about Gordon Campbell in B.C. and now Ernie Eves is kissing up to the former finance minister too. Talk about uniting the right. However Eves and the new Liberal leader have something else in common and that is a dismal record on coal.
I would like to ask the environment minister this. Why has the government not enforced its laws against Ernie Eves' filthy coal plants? Why are they not enforcing the law?
