Mr. Speaker, the member was right when he said “we committed”. They did commit but they did not deliver. I am reading from their own budget plan of 2005: $200 million over the next five years for renewable energy. I checked up on it. They never spent a dollar. They did not get the job done.
A $200 million investment for sustainable technology for conventional energy. Guess how much money they spent? Not a dollar.
Yes, they made commitments and, yes, they gave promises but they did not get the job done.
