Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will be sharing my time with Mr. Vellacott. First of all, I would like to sincerely thank the witnesses for being here as we wrap up the CEPA. Many of you have been here before. CEPA 1999 has a legislative requirement to be reviewed every five years. The

Environment committee  Okay.

Environment committee  Thank you. Ms. Cooper, I'll be able to ask that question of you now. There are two things. In your brief, you've said CEPA should be amended “to give the Minister of Health and the Environment the power to recall products from retail and wholesale operations where they violate

Environment committee  Thank you. How much time is remaining?

Environment committee  Okay, I have just one very quick comment to Ms. Cooper. I'm sorry, I've run out of time. I was hoping to ask you a question. The Clean Air Act deals with indoor air quality.

Environment committee  Minister, Mr. Cullen spoke about intellectual dishonesty. There were a lot of false statements made that Canada was shunned. In fact, we were very well received. You stayed an extra couple of days and signed an MOU regarding conservation. Kenya was very happy to have you there.

Environment committee  Thank you, Minister, for being here today. I'll be sharing my ten minutes, with Mr. Vellacott first and then with Mr. Watson. I'll take the first three or four minutes.

Environment committee  On division. I hope we would save a tree.

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate this opportunity to clarify some of the comments that were made, particularly those regarding the minister going to Nairobi. I thank the members from the Bloc, the Liberals, and the NDP for accepting her invitation to go to Nairobi with her. I'

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. As we now approach the preamble, I sincerely wish I could commend the honourable member for his concerns about reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but Bill C-288 doesn't take us in that direction.
