Environment committee  First of all, do we need a mover to discuss this?

Environment committee  I'd like to speak to it.

Environment committee  Mr. Chair, I'll be supporting the motion, but begrudgingly. Bill C-288, as we've heard from the witnesses to this point, would have been relevant in 1998. We've heard to this point that we cannot meet our Kyoto targets, and I expect the science will support that. So Bill C-288,

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, the government has been very clear all along that we have committed to the Kyoto protocol. The problem that the hon. member may not remember is 13 years of Liberal inaction. We would not have the problem if the former government would have done something on the envir

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I would like to read a quote from the minister. She stated in Nairobi: There are some who are using the Kyoto Protocol to create divisions within our country--but we will not let that happen. Canada has one target and we all share the responsibility to work togethe

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, obviously the hon. member has not read the clean air act. Actually, she has answered that question many times. I encourage him to read clauses 27, 29 and 33 of the clean air act. That question has been answered. The government supports exchange markets of carbon. He

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, a carbon market requires a regulatory system and obviously the member has not read the clauses of the clean air act. I encourage him to do that. I encourage him to read the act and to participate, not try to sabotage what the government is doing. We acknowledge the

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, the hon. member well knows that the conference in Nairobi was a huge success. Canada is one of 165 countries that signed on to address greenhouse gas emissions past the 2012 reporting stage. I encourage the hon. member to work with the government and not try to sabot

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, that Bloc member's behaviour in Nairobi was shocking and shameful. That member should be embarrassed for what he did. He owes Canadians an apology for trying to sabotage what Canada is trying to do. We are in a crisis on the global environment. We need to work toget

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, the member is quite right. The previous Liberal government did absolutely nothing on the environment. It is this government that, through the clean air act, will deal with greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. We would appreciate if all members, including the NDP,

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, talking about money, all Canadians know that for 13 years the Liberals did nothing and they wasted $1.6 billion. I would ask that member to stand up right now because we have been waiting a long time for an apology for wasting money and not doing anything on the en

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I think what the hon. member is having problems with is that this is a government of action. This is the government that tabled the clean air act. We are moving from voluntary to mandatory. That member was part of a government that did nothing. Will she finally do

Environment committee  Yes, I have a minute and ten seconds.

Environment committee  The question concerns the suggestion of immediate impacts, in addition to what the government is already doing, concerning Bill C-288. We need specifics. Can you give any additional specific recommendations on what the government should be doing?

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a question for each of you. Have you had a chance to look at Bill C-30, the Clean Air Act, and the notice of intent? Have you had a chance to read those? Good. I'm seeing some nodding. There were quite a few comments about policy. We believe that w
