Madam Speaker, I would like to welcome the new opposition leader and congratulate him on being elected.
I am detecting a change in tone compared to what we got used to from the Conservatives this past year. The party seems to be projecting a more compassionate, more human and more sensitive image to Canadians. I like it, but I want to know if this new tone will be sustainable.
Will it be sustainable in the sense of sustainable development, a term that did not come up in the opposition leader's speech just now? Can we look forward to the Conservative Party coming out in favour of sustainable development at the expense of things like the oil sands?
