Mr. Speaker, I would like to get back to the Kyoto plan.
The C.D. Howe Institute is about to publish an evaluation of the first phase of the Liberal Party's climate change plan confirming that this first phase would alone have achieved 80% of Canada's Kyoto commitments, 175 megatonnes, two years before the deadline.
The Conservative government is at odds with reality. How can the minister claim we cannot fulfill our Kyoto commitments when Conservative think tanks are concluding we could be 80% of the way there with two years to spare?
