Mr. Speaker, the government's attacks on the Experimental Lakes Area program have defied common sense. Its experiments were critical in helping us better understand things like acid rain, phosphates, and the environmental impacts of the oil sands development.
However, news that the Conservatives hired an oil lobbyist to advise them on the ELA begins to make things a lot more clear.
When will the government start listening to scientists on science rather than to oil lobbyists?
