Mr. Speaker, the government has relied too heavily on the good faith of major polluters with regard to reaching our Kyoto objectives. This was a serious mistake. As proof, the president of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association, Mark Nantais, is talking about some kind of agreement with Ottawa—if possible. He adds that his industry does not feel bound in any way by the implementation of Kyoto in ten days' time.
Since the voluntary approach has failed, why does the Prime Minister not immediately start cracking down on car manufacturers that refuse to do their part in cutting greenhouse emissions?
