Mr. Speaker, the Minister of the Environment recently announced the federal government's intention to table a new Canadian plan for applying the Kyoto protocol. On January 16, we learned of a memo from Natural Resources proposing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the major polluters from 55 to 37 megatonnes.
Can the minister guarantee that the new plan he will be tabling shortly will not lessen the obligations of major polluters to apply the Kyoto protocol in Canada?
