Mr. Speaker, I want the members on the Conservative side to know that if the motion is approved, which we hope it will be, we believe it can be brought into effect almost immediately. We can move expeditiously toward the implementation of mandatory emission standards.
We believe that will achieve the 25% target, if we are committed to doing this and we do it immediately, by the year 2012. We are certainly in a hurry. Time is moving on. We do not have time to lose. We have to do this now in order to achieve those targets in another six or seven years.
We have heard very little from the Conservatives on any specific timelines, goals or targets in terms of dealing with the situation. They have no plan. Like the Liberals, not only do they refuse to accept our motion but they also have no plan, period. They prefer to look to the past instead of to the future. They prefer to leave it to the market to handle our future instead of taking full responsibility and guiding us toward a future of prosperity and tremendous potential.
