Mr. Speaker, today is the two year anniversary of the coming into force of the Kyoto protocol and the government should be living up to its obligations. However, the NDP has learned that not only is the government an environmental delinquent, it does not live up to its financial obligations.
When we look at the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, it turns out that Canada owes $525,000 under that convention. It is not acceptable that these bills are not being paid.
Why is the government not paying its dues on the environment and why does it not stop being a deadbeat when it comes to the UN and the fees we owe them?
