Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her speech, even though there was a fundamental problem with it. She talked about commitments and targets and the fact that her government wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but she never spoke about a specific plan on how to do that.
She gave us random examples of successful companies that are making the transition to clean energy, but there is no plan to support her speech or the statements that she made before the House today. A plan would tell us how the Liberals intend to meet those objectives. My question for the minister is very brief, and it happens to touch on this very issue.
Can the Minister of Environment tell us what progress has been made in reducing greenhouse gas emissions since she took office? Can she tell us by exactly how much greenhouse gas emissions have been reduced since she began her term as environment minister? We will be able to judge how effective her plan is when we see concrete results, real greenhouse gas reductions.
When will the Liberals stop making contradictory decisions? On one hand they say they will fight greenhouse gases while on the other they continue to approve pipelines that will increase greenhouse gas emissions in Alberta.
How can the minister reconcile those two things and what progress is being made on reducing greenhouse gases?
