Environment committee Bill C-288 is meeting the Kyoto targets by taking out--sending away--billions of dollars. Mr. Bramley, you've said you support that. Billions of dollars leaving Canada--if we kept that money here, if we keep those billions of dollars right here in Canada for investment, can we meet the Kyoto targets here in Canada?

Environment committee That was a yes or no question, Mr. Bramley.

Environment committee Mr. Bramley--
November 28th, 2006Committee meeting
Mark WarawaConservative
Environment committee Mr. Chair, my question was a yes or no question. I don't want Mr. Bramley using my time, so if he's refusing to answer the question, that's fine. Maybe we could start with Mr. Dillon, then. Can we meet those targets, yes or no?

Environment committee Thank you. Ms. Anthony, can we meet those targets?
November 28th, 2006Committee meeting
Mark WarawaConservative
Environment committee In a practical sense--

Environment committee Ms. Anthony, I don't want to cut anybody off, but I was hoping for a yes or a no, okay?
November 28th, 2006Committee meeting
Mark WarawaConservative
Environment committee Okay. Thank you for that. Actually, you're the first one to say yes to the committee. We have had, to this point, a no from everyone I've asked that question to. We've had a couple of “I don't knows”, but you're the first one.... So congratulations. We actually had comments specifically regarding Bill C-288 from Claude Villeneuve, a professor with the University of Quebec.

Mark WarawaConservative
Environment committee Okay, thank you. You also said today that Pembina is non-partisan and you said that you strongly support Bill C-288. Are you speaking for yourself or for Pembina?

Environment committee You also said it needs strong leadership and we need to move as quickly as possible.
November 28th, 2006Committee meeting
Mark WarawaConservative
Environment committee Have you made a comment on Bill C-30, the government's bill to deal with climate change, which would set targets to be announced in the spring of 2007? Would you have a position on that?
November 28th, 2006Committee meeting
Mark WarawaConservative
Environment committee Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here today. My first question to each of you is for clarification. During the comments you've already made, you've made your positions very clear, but I want to repeat the question. The government has been very clear that we will not buy foreign credits to meet those targets.
November 28th, 2006Committee meeting
Mark WarawaConservative
Environment committee Thank you, Mr. Chair. Again, I appreciate the witnesses' presence here today. My riding is Langley, British Columbia. We didn't use a lot of salt in that area until this weekend. I'd like to continue in the vein of enforcement and compliance--basically, how issues of compliance and enforcement are initiated and how we work with industry to make sure they're aware of the statutes.

The Environment Mr. Speaker, the hon. member is absolutely wrong. The government is totally committed to the Kyoto protocol. The problem is, after 13 years of Liberal inaction, we had a target that would have taken us 47% above the Kyoto target and sent $20 billion out of Canada. Why would the members of the Bloc support that philosophy?

The Environment Mr. Speaker, actually the environment minister had very good meetings with her international counterparts and they were establishing a workshop that will be held within weeks. The EU, U.K. and United States will all be participating in discussions on carbon trading. This government takes climate change seriously.
