Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate my colleague across the way on his speech today. I would say that he was true to form in that he usually tries to stick to the facts and address the substance of the speeches or arguments presented by members on the other side of the House. He does not really engage in partisanship and is able to rise above it.
With that in mind, I would like to ask a question of my colleague opposite from whom we have come to expect a certain intellectual prowess. Today's Conservative motion, once again, aims to reduce, if not dismantle, everything related to the environment, which would cause us to lose even more ground.
Perhaps my colleague could enlighten us about something. How have Conservative speeches over the past few years influenced his government's policies, and to what extent has his government's backpedalling harmed the climate?
