Mr. Speaker, let me simply give the hon. member one example. As he knows, when he was with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities he asked for municipal funds to deal with the environment. The fact is that we delivered and they have been very successful.
Then we said that when the shares of Petro-Canada were sold that a substantial portion, up to a billion dollars of that money, would go into environmental technologies. I am glad to say in the House, after one of the most successful secondary offerings, I am certainly prepared to congratulate the Minister of Finance. We have that money and it will go into environmental technologies.
