Mr. Speaker, I think the Leader of the Opposition has always been known as a man of honour. If he has any accusations to make against the Prime Minister, let him make them here in the House. And if he does not, it is dangerous to claim that certain facts were hidden, and coming from him, it is absolutely and totally irresponsible.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Minister of Transport gave the facts on all the events that led up to this report. And if the Leader of the Opposition is so interested in the opinion of the Globe and Mail , why does he not call the referendum, as requested by this newspaper?

Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Prime Minister himself made it clear that the allegations reported in the Financial Post were absolutely false, and there is nothing more to be said.

Mr. Speaker, a substance banned by the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States for the last 20 odd years, a substance currently used only in Canada and a substance under consideration for use in Bulgaria is a substance helping neither the environment nor the economy of Canada. That is why we are moving where the previous government did not, to ban its transportation.

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, the Minister of National Defence already answered this question last week. My answer is the same as his.
Low Level Flights March 24th, 1995
Mr. Speaker, I accept the fact that the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency has carried out its work in good faith. The report is now before Cabinet and a response is expected shortly.
Foreign Affairs March 24th, 1995
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, with whom I spoke shortly before coming into question period, indicated his personal outrage and the outrage of the government at the conduct of anyone who would hide behind diplomatic immunity to avoid his or her obligations to family.
He has personally ordered that this individual not only make the payments as requested by the Australian court, but that the individual be immediately recalled to Canada.
The Environment March 24th, 1995
Mr. Speaker, the federal government will be going to Berlin with a position which we believe is not only defensible but will enhance the capacity of the world to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
We will be proposing that we work together with countries like China and Brazil that are interested in Canadian technology to ensure technology transfer for credit. That will permit us to pursue our objective which is not only to stabilize greenhouse gases around the world but to reduce them.
I hope that the member would use her good offices to convince the Government of Quebec to come to the table so that we can have a Canadian position, where federal and provincial governments work together to establish not only stabilization but the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
The Environment March 24th, 1995
Mr. Speaker, the government's position is as follows: there must be an exchange of technology between developing countries and countries like Canada. For this reason, we are going to propose an analysis of credit transfers, which will not only stabilize the greenhouse effect, but reduce it. This is our position.
