Mr. Speaker, it is because the provinces are concerned that we rise in this House. Moreover, we stand up for all Canadians.
There are other concerns. For years, the Conservatives, with the complicity of the Bloc, have been supporting the asbestos industry, an industry that kills thousands every year, an industry that produces materials that we have banned here at home.
The Conservatives see no problem in selling so-called safe, carcinogenic chrysotile asbestos to the highest bidder. They even refuse to add it to the Rotterdam Convention list of hazardous materials.
Will the Conservatives finally put human lives ahead of the electoral interests of the ministers who are exporting death?
