Mr. Speaker, the government committed, under the U.S.-Canada clean energy dialogue, to listen to Canadians on proposed clean energy initiatives. The NAFTA environmental side agreement also commits Canada to notify and consult anyone concerned about proposed environmental laws or policies.
Unlike the United States, which has engaged its public, the Canadian government thinks stakeholders only include industrial lobbyists.
Could the environment minister inform the House why he continues to violate these commitments and when Canadians will have their say on our energy future?
