Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague's speech was very thoughtful and articulate. I heard him say that Canada was 1 of 168 countries in the world that signed on to the Kyoto protocol.
During the parliamentary secretary's 10 minute speech, not one word was mentioned about Kyoto or the Kyoto agreement.
In the hon. member's knowledge of the history of this country, has a single Canadian government ever failed to follow through on an international commitment or an international treaty? It rather seems to be the mindset of the present government that, for the first time in Canadian history, an international commitment will not be honoured by Canada.
Is the hon. member's knowledge of history any different from mine?
