Mr. Speaker, in the environment as well as in foreign affairs the government is becoming a stranger to the truth.
When the Minister of the Environment appeared before the environment committee on October 5, she claimed that the previous Liberal government spent over $100 million in purchasing hot air credits from foreign countries. The truth is that not one penny has ever been spent by the federal government on hot air credits or foreign credits of any kind.
Will the Minister of the Environment apologize to the House for misleading the committee?
