Madam Chair, if this is the result of an analysis, then I would ask the minister to table that analysis in the House. Is he able to table that analysis?

Madam Chair, if it was the result of an analysis, then precisely what would the $14 billion would be spent on?

Madam Chair, billions of dollars is different from what the minister quoted. He quoted $14 billion. Did the minister do an analysis to come up with this number?

Madam Chair, I would like to switch gears and ask a few questions about the Kyoto protocol.
When the government made its decision to withdraw from the protocol, the government and the minister stated that it was designed to save Canada $14 billion in penalties. Was an economic analysis done to come up with this number?

Madam Chair, I will take that as a yes.
Has the government consulted Canadians as to its official position at Rio Plus 20 and if it has, could the minister please tell us who it has consulted with?

Madam Chair, would the minister clarify about accreditation to opposition members of Parliament? When it came to Durban, that courtesy was not extended to the opposition.
Would he clarify that he will assist members of Parliament from opposition parties who wish to attend.

Madam Chair, could the minister give us a rough ballpark of what the budget will be for the delegation? Surely he has a lot of resources at his fingertips, and I am sure that there must at least be an estimate.

Madam Chair, does the minister have the answer now to what the budget is for the delegation?

Madam Chair, the minister has alluded to my next question. How many representatives will we be sending? Also, what departments will be represented in the Canadian delegation?
