Mr. Speaker, as the Minister of the Environment leaves for Nairobi for a meeting on implementing the Kyoto protocol, she is burdened by her own pattern of deception and disinformation here in Canada.
Obsessed with partisan games and laying blame, she told Canadians that hundreds of millions of dollars had been spent by the previous government to buy international carbon credits.
The minister's officials, the environmental auditor and the news media have all confirmed that it just was not true.
Why did the Conservatives tell such a deliberate, barefaced falsehood?
