Mr. Speaker, the Minister of the Environment's plan is being criticized by everyone here, by the UN climate change representative, Yvo de Boer, and by the former U.S. vice-president, Al Gore, who described the plan as a complete and total fraud designed to mislead the Canadian people.
Does the minister realize that he is fooling no one and that with this plan Canada is far from moving forward, but is going backward; that it will never achieve the Kyoto protocol targets; and that, worse yet, greenhouse gas emissions will continue to increase?
