Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for raising some good points.
As she will have noticed, both the United States and China have stepped forward well before Canada to state that they will take substantial measures to reduce greenhouse gases.
Second, there is absolutely nothing that Canada can do to assure that, even if we do export our gas to China, it will use that gas to replace coal fires. What I am aware of is that China has made monumental investments, and has committed to additional monumental investments, in deploying renewable energy instead of coal fired.
What would be really nice is if her government had expedited, and if the Liberal government would expedite, the accelerated phase-out of coal fired power in this country. I think that would set a far better example than simply asking why China is not doing enough.
