Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to the hon. member's speech.
He mentioned the Paris agreement, yet it seems to me that we are far short of what this agreement requires. For example, in Paris, the reference year was 1990. Beginning in the 1990s, Quebec reached difficult targets, such as a 28% reduction by aluminum plants and a 78% reduction by lumber producers and various forestry industries. Now we are going to use 2006 as the reference year. That is the same target set by the Conservatives. It is low, very low.
Should we not be following the lead set by most other countries and use 1990 as the reference year, rather than the year we are discussing today?
