Mr. Speaker, I am glad that the parliamentary secretary brought up industry, because it is not just the national round table that is calling on the government to take action on climate change; industry is echoing that call.
Three corporations have just withdrawn from a carbon capture and storage project that was receiving significant funding from this government. They say that this project is meaningless without stricter greenhouse gas emissions standards and more regulation from Ottawa.
Why is this government going through the back door and using the budget bill to cut environmental regulations?
