Mr. Speaker, that must be small comfort to the people of Nunavut and their representatives who are here with us in Ottawa today.
Members of the House must be comparing Canada's performance in Bonn with Montreal this past December. In Montreal, Canada worked tirelessly behind the scenes to bring the world together to take real action to fight climate change. In Bonn we are sending the message that Canada is not reliable in the fight against climate change. Other countries are describing Canada's desertion as a living nightmare.
Canada has a leadership role to play in the fight against global warming. Why is the government abandoning that role?
