Madam Speaker, my hon. colleague and I have been colleagues together here for quite some time in the House of Commons. He is a fine representative not only of Quebec but of Canada, with lots of experience. One of the things that I found deeply disturbing about this, as somebody who has a background in environmental science, as I worked in that field when I was a much younger man, is the fact that there was not much politics going on at Sustainable Development Technology Canada. There was generally a consensus among all parliamentarians that SDTC was generally doing good things and advancing technology and development in environmental sustainability.
Can my colleague comment on how that has now been ruined by the incompetence of the government?
