Mr. Speaker, I applaud my hon. colleague from the Bloc. He is one of the most passionate advocates for environmental action on Parliament's environment committee.
I have a simple question for him and I think it will exploit some of the absurdity in the government's handling of the fuel efficiency standard.
With 80% of the vehicles purchased in Canada being built in either the U.S. or Mexico, the government is negotiating with the Canadian auto industry about a fuel efficiency standard. Does my colleague in the Bloc think that government discussions on a fuel efficiency standard should be a common North American standard? Therefore should the government be negotiating with the United States and Mexico toward a common standard for the continent?
