Mr. Speaker, it seems that the Conservatives have finally stopped attacking the true laws of nature, such as the fundamental laws of physics and chemistry, by refusing to recognize the scientific principles of global warming.
In fact, just a few months ago, we heard the empty rhetoric of the Conservatives and their leader that the man-made effects of climate change were nothing more than a scientific hypothesis and that carbon dioxide had never been considered a health risk.
We hope that the Conservative Party has finally realized what we on this side of the House have already known for quite some time. Climate change is real, and attacking this problem can only benefit this country's economy and environment, as well as the health of Canadians.
We hope too that the Conservative Party has finally seen the folly of advancing pseudo-scientific principles. We hope that now the Conservatives will stop making these erroneous statements.
