Mr. Speaker, I want to ask my colleague to expand a little on this point.
Clearly, the government opposite does not care about the 40,000 jobs in processing bitumen, nor does the Liberal opposition care about that. My concern is that the leader of the Liberal Party, when he was in Washington last week, dismissed environmental concerns that have been expressed by Americans and Canadians. Now we learn that the Liberal candidate in Toronto Centre does not want to participate in a debate on climate change.
I wonder if the member would like to comment on what this says about the commitment of both the Liberals and Conservatives on these important issues.
