Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised Canadians that new air quality legislation would be part of his plan, and that the bill would be referred to a House committee in order to find consensus on what action to take. Today we learn that the Minister of the Environment has abandoned the air quality legislation because he did not like the way the House committee had amended it.
Why should Canadians believe that a real plan will be implemented when this government outright refuses to accept the recommendations of the committee that it supported?
