Mr. Speaker, the member stood up on a number of points of order asking the Minister of Natural Resources to stay on topic. We just heard the hon. member across the way speak on everything except about his dog. I do not know if he even has a dog. So, I am going to ask him a question about what he was talking about.
He talked a lot about the environment which is very important to me. For 13 years he was an active part of the Liberal government. In fact, he even spoke out against his government's position on Kyoto. He said that the Liberals would never meet the target. For 13 years they had an opportunity to do something on the environment and they did absolutely nothing. They wasted $1.6 billion. The emissions have climbed 35%. In the report that was just released on where we are going to go on Kyoto, it is 47%. That is where their target would have taken us.
I am going to ask the hon. member to stand and maybe he can report to this House why the Liberal government was such a dismal failure on the environmental file? Maybe he would honestly tell this House why the Liberals did such a poor job and why they are trying to obstruct this government with our clean air act? He did not support that either, so he needs to answer these questions in the House.
