Mr. Speaker, the Liberal member made a point of stating that he sits on the environmental and sustainable development committee and of mentioning the plan to implement the Kyoto protocol.
However, the vast majority of observers agree on one point: the Liberals have been very generous with heavy greenhouse gas emitters. They also note that the plan presented by the Minister of the Environment is lacking crucial elements and that it took eight years before a plan was tabled to implement the Kyoto protocol.
The bill talks about expenses of about $10 million to implement the Kyoto protocol with a rather vague and incomplete plan.
What does the minister have to say about all the criticism surrounding the Kyoto protocol?
