Mr. Speaker, I am very disappointed to hear that the member is recommending voting against the motion.
The current government is bound by the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation, in which it commits that we will not undermine environmental protections for economic advantage, which it regularly does and regularly violates that side agreement to NAFTA. What it also is not abiding by is the clean energy dialogue with the United States, whereby it undertakes that it will move forward in tandem with the United States in measures related to the clean energy environment. I am a little stunned that the member is saying they are not interested in following suit with the United States, which actually has an exact same position for science.
I wonder if the member would speak to why they are moving away from their co-operative relationship with our neighbour, the United States.
