Mr. Speaker, in 2009 the government invested $3 billion in green stimulus spending. Germany invested $14 billion, the United States invested $112 billion and China invested $221 billion in green infrastructure and in the process created thousands of new green jobs.
The government should accept intergenerational responsibility and develop a national sustainable energy strategy to position Canada to succeed in the global economy, to continue to build the country and to create a significant number of jobs.
Could the hon. member comment on how national targets for the development of low-impact renewable energy could achieve economic jobs and sustainability goals?
