Environment committee  Are we on the preamble or the short title? I believe the preamble would be the first, would it not?

Environment committee  Then after that, the preamble.

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll be speaking on the preamble. As far as the short title goes, it's—

Environment committee  Well, clause 1 is the short title, as I just said. I will be speaking on the preamble after we deal with this. On the short title, it says: This Act may be cited as the Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act. That's what we're talking about. The only point I would make is that

Environment committee  So we're talking less than 24 hours ago. This substantial clause, a new clause added to Bill C-288, was introduced less than 24 hours ago, and Mr. Godfrey is trying to convince this committee that it was well thought out, wasn't on the fly, and was presented here with great thoug
