Mr. Speaker, let us listen to what the rest of the world is saying about Canada. Monday's Guardian newspaper stated:
[We] watching the astonishing spectacle of a beautiful, cultured nation turning itself into a corrupt petro-state. Canada is slipping down the development ladder, retreating from a complex, diverse economy towards dependence on a single primary resource, which happens to be the dirtiest commodity known to man....In Copenhagen next week, this country will do everything in its power to wreck the talks. The rest of the world must do everything in its power to stop it....Canada now threatens the wellbeing of the world.
Is that the Canada the Conservatives want on the world stage? Is that the Canada they want for our children?
