Mr. Speaker, in 2002 the Prime Minister said this about the Kyoto protocol, “We will fight this every step of the way”. This week he brings his fight to the G-8.
Instead of siding with the Europeans, the Prime Minister has joined with the Americans in pressing them to leave Kyoto behind. While he says he wants “enforceable targets in an international protocol”, he is actually pushing for targets that allow emissions to go up and an agreement that sets the bar lower.
Why does the Prime Minister continue to fight action, instead of fighting climate change?
