Environment committee  Thank you. I'd like to change the focus on the term just slightly. I appreciate the comment. I think there is consensus that there is risk if we change the term. I appreciated the comments on the international perspective on the term “toxic”. The assessments done here in Canad

Environment committee  Is there a consensus on that from the other witnesses?

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think we've all found this round of appearances by the witnesses very helpful, the way it's been set up, and hearing opposing views has been enlightening. Mr. Moffet, I want you to make a comment. We've heard from Mr. Freeman and Mr. Lloyd regarding the

Environment committee  What's the risk? Mr. Freeman and Mr. Lloyd assured us that there is the possibility, but they both felt it would be unlikely of success, if there were a challenge. What's the department's opinion?

Environment committee  So you're agreeing with the other presenters that there is a risk?

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, the government is taking action on the environment. We take seriously the issues of climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, and pollution in our air. We are a government of action and that is what Canadians want, after 13 years of a Liberal government that did not

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, this government is listening to Canadians. Every year thousands of Canadians die related to pollution in our air. The health of Canadians is important. What did the Liberals do? They wasted Canadian money on foreign credits. The projects of today are brought to Cana

Adjournment Proceedings  Mr. Speaker, clearly the hon. member is not aware of the extent of discussions this government is having with the provinces and territories on initiatives that address clean air, clean water, clean land and climate change.

Adjournment Proceedings  Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate the hon. member was not listening to what I said. This government is going to act with a clean air made in Canada environmental plan. We have a very clear objective and that is to provide cleaner air for the health of Canadians and to reduce green

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just have a quick comment. I am a member of Parliament for Langley, but I'm also a father and a grandfather, and I think every one of us here is deeply disturbed by the war that we see taking place and the loss of life. I came here today to listen to t

Environment committee  Mr. Glover, I can tell you really want to say something.

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I found this very interesting. I am going to be keeping my comments short to give opportunity for further dialogue between the witnesses. The focus of today's dialogue is measuring success. At the beginning we put together a number of ideas, the topics tha

Environment committee  I have a point of order, Mr. Chair. Procedurally, I have a motion on the floor questioning whether or not this motion is in order. Mr. Chair, you have ruled that it is in order, but the motion then is challenging the position of whether or not it is in order. I could go on at len

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. At this point, I would like to move that the motion on the floor is out of order at this time. With your permission, I'll give the reasons why. Thank you. Mr. Chair, this government has the mandate to deal with CEPA, the Canadian Environmental Protection

Environment committee  The salient point is that the Government of Canada does not have the authority to dismiss ministers; the Prime Minister has that authority. That's the fundamental reason why this is out of order and also why I believe it's political mischief. The member did say that climate cha
