There were lots of good exchanges yesterday in Question Period.
It’s fun when Liberals say deceptive things and then Conservatives shoot them down with facts and truth. I think it’s good for Canada.
I’m constantly amused by Liberal Scott (“Fancy-Pants from Kings-Hants”) Brison, and even more amused by the notion of him and his husband being my country’s Prime Minister and First Husband.
And I’m constantly impressed by Rona Ambrose in every which way.
Hon. Scott Brison (Kings—Hants, Lib.): Mr. Speaker, what is notable is that in their plan, the environment comes last.
This is what the Sierra Club has said about this budget, “The most tangible action on the environment by government has been to cut climate change programs”.
Why is the environment minister not ashamed that by slashing $2 billion from environmental programs, Canada has joined the international organization of one: the only country in the world to cut environmental programs?
Hon. Rona Ambrose (Minister of the Environment, CPC): Mr. Speaker, I am happy to address the hon. member’s concerns. I would like to let him know that during the election, when we announced our transit pass tax policy, the Sierra Club said, “I think it’s a very good move on the Conservatives’ part”.
The other thing I would like to remind the hon. member of, as he stands in his place as the Liberal Party of Canada environment critic, is he is on record as saying that the Kyoto agreement was basically written on the back of an airplane napkin on the way to Kyoto, and on December 10, he voted against Kyoto.
