Mr. Speaker, the government's plan is a 20% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, and that is the toughest target in Canadian history and a major change from what happened for 13 long, dark years under the Liberals.
My colleague provided some quotes. Here is an interesting quote: “I think our party has got into a mess on the environment”. That comment was made by the leader of the Liberal Party. He also said, “We didn't get it done”. Now he is saying that “Canadians are ready for tough measures, including a controversial carbon tax”.
Would my colleague stand up right now and say no to that job killing carbon tax? It is not what Canadians want. It is not good for the environment. It is this government that stands up for a cleaner environment. Why does she support the carbon tax?
