Okay, 20 years. Madam Speaker, he is a young man, too.
I have to remind the member that it is quite important to respect the rule made by the Speaker. I know he agrees with me and this is an order from the Speaker. More than that, when we are talking about environmental issues, let me quote what an expert said just yesterday in the committee.
The policy director at Nature Canada said that when governments miss targets or mismanage public funds, it hurts public expectations and public support for these programs. He added that it is better to have modest promises that are met than ambitious targets that are not.
I invite the government to reflect on these words from this highly regarded environmental activist in Canada.
