Mr. Speaker, with respect to 2006 levels, he said. The problem is that reductions under Kyoto are related to 1990 levels. That is the first admission that they do not want to respect the protocol.
Beyond the diplomatic dance around the G-8 meeting, French Prime Minister François Fillon and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have both deplored the fact that Canada has reneged on its signature of the Kyoto protocol.
How can the Prime Minister talk about phase two of Kyoto, when he does not even respect phase one? Does this not prove that the Prime Minister will have no credibility in the upcoming negotiations?
