Mr. Speaker, in the wake of getting rid of the ineffective, unworkable, and unsubscribed Kyoto treaty, which the Liberals signed onto and then they raised emissions by 35%, our government signed the Copenhagen Accord and committed to responsibly balance reducing emissions and protecting our economy, lines which, as I said, have been appropriated by the current environment minister.
As I noted in my speech, and as has been noted by my colleagues any number of times, Canada contributes far less than two per cent of the world's annual global emissions, while China, the largest emitter, has an over-the-horizon commitment to do something someday, while still generating billions of tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere through coal-fired generating stations, which we have banned in this country.
We have balanced what the Liberals claim to balance, and it must be noted that when they went to Paris, they adopted our Copenhagen standards.
