Environment committee You're quite right, but there's also nothing preventing us--unless the committee doesn't want to deal with CEPA--from dealing with it this week and next. We are very close to completing it, so why would we want to delay? I think if it's in our powers--and hopefully wishes--to deal with it now before the Christmas break, I think it would be a good use of staff time too.

Canada's Clean Air Act Mr. Speaker, I find the comments made by the hon. member across hopelessly inaccurate. The member said that the government was delaying real caps until 2050. That is the long term range. The real caps, the short term caps, will be announced at the beginning of 2007. That is only a couple of months away.

Main Estimates, 2006-07 Mr. Speaker, the member stood up on a number of points of order asking the Minister of Natural Resources to stay on topic. We just heard the hon. member across the way speak on everything except about his dog. I do not know if he even has a dog. So, I am going to ask him a question about what he was talking about.

Main Estimates, 2006-07 Mr. Speaker, I thank the minister for his hard work and contributions to the clean air act . As the House knows, it is Environment Canada and the environment minister who creates the policy but it is the Minister of Natural Resources who actually implements the programs. The previous government made $6 billion worth of announcements and spent $1.6 billion.

Environment committee The point I was trying to make was that this Government of Canada has not abandoned Kyoto. We are very committed to the Kyoto Protocol. We have been honest. We have the list provided by Mr. Dillon, but a number of other countries are having difficulty. We've been honest and have shared the difficulty Canada is having in meeting those targets.

Environment committee On Bill C-30, have you strongly come out and said a yea or a nay?
November 28th, 2006Committee meeting
Mark WarawaConservative
Environment committee The point I'm making is that Pembina has presented itself as being non-partisan and they've come up and said they strongly support Bill C-288. Do you strongly support Bill C-30?
November 28th, 2006Committee meeting
Mark WarawaConservative
Environment committee I found the papers that you've written—actually Pembina, not you personally—on the oil sands, the tar sands, very interesting. I visited Fort McMurray to take a look at them, bought the DVDs, and actually met with a representative from Pembina. I was really surprised about their involvement with the development of the tar sands, and I was surprised that they weren't opposing the oil sands, the tar sands; it is one of the major producers of greenhouse gas emissions.

Environment committee We can. Okay, how can we meet it in Canada? What's your opinion?

Environment committee Mr. Bramley, I don't think you wanted to answer that. Ms. Comeau, can we meet those targets?
