Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I would like to ask him a question.
The Conservatives withdrew from the Kyoto protocol and from the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification. What is more, the government is refusing to sign the Arms Trade Treaty, and now it wants to pass a bill that will render the Convention on Cluster Munitions meaningless.
Does my colleague not see that the Conservatives are putting Canada between a rock and a hard place when it comes to international affairs? Unfortunately, Canada is losing its reputation as a leader in human rights. I know how much my colleague cares about this type of issue and I would like him to talk about the Conservatives' approach.
