Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to the response given by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness.

To come back to what she said, some European countries will meet the Kyoto targets. If she thinks that Canada is the best example in the world, she needs to have another look at the models around her. Some countries in Europe have nearly met the Kyoto targets and are still part of that protocol.

What is shameful is that Canada was the first signatory to the Kyoto protocol to pull out of it. That is really not something to be proud of. I would not stand up in this House and say that we are proud of what Canada has done when it comes to the fight against climate change.

I also mentioned that there were other reports. The round table report, the World Bank report and the Environment Canada report were not the only ones. Numerous reports revealed that Canada would not meet the low Copenhagen targets.

If the Conservatives are saying that they will continue to do nothing and will meet the Copenhagen targets, there are two possibilities: either they can do magic and will use it to meet their targets, or they have a secret plan to combat climate change. If that is the case, I would like to hear about this plan, and I think the Canadian public would as well, because the existing plan is not working.
