Mr. Speaker, that is ridiculous. The minister is hugely supportive of using traditional knowledge.
To update the member about leadership, yesterday, in Lima, the Minister of the Environment met with Ban Ki-moon, who expressed his appreciation for Canada's efforts to address climate change and that the country would continue supporting the process toward securing a meaningful universal climate agreement in Paris in 2015. He also thanked Canada for its recent contribution to the green climate fund.
That is leadership, and that is without a job-killing carbon tax the NDP would like to put in.
