Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition has a significant task ahead of him in convincing Canadians over the next couple of years that it would be better for them if we did not fight climate change, if we did not show leadership on the environment and if we did not make investments in cleaner technologies. He will have a significant task convincing people in St. Thomas that it is a waste of money to be investing in the Volkswagen plant.
These are the kinds of things he is going to have to try to convince Canadians of. All the fancy rhetoric he tries to use will not fool Canadians. The reality is that Canadians know the environment and the economy go together.
