Mr. Speaker, the Minister of the Environment has run out of arguments and now feels the need to invent them. Yesterday, for example, she stated that Japan was adopting a position on the Kyoto protocol in line with Canada's. In fact, Japan is saying that a more aggressive stand must be taken on climate change without delay.
Does the minister realize that with such statements she is undermining not only her own credibility but also that of her government both here, in Canada, and abroad?
