Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives are piling an insurmountable environmental debt on the backs of future generations.
Under the successive Liberal and Conservative governments, Canada has failed miserably in terms of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. The Conservatives made Canada the one and only country to withdraw from the Kyoto accord. Also for the first time, unlike any other country in the world, the Conservatives withdrew from the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification. They have gutted our environmental laws.
Is this because the Prime Minister still believes that international measures to combat climate change are a socialist plot and a hoax?
