Statement made on 26 November 2009 by Senator Grant Mitchell
Hon. Grant Mitchell:
Honourable senators, today Mr. Harper pretty much made it official: He is a follower on one of the most important issues that has faced this country since the Second World War. It took Mr. Obama, the President of the United States, and 65 other world leaders, to shame him into going to Copenhagen to represent Canada's interests. The question remains: How well will he do that when he is not committed deep down in his gut to the issue of climate change?
Could the Leader of the Government in the Senate please tell the house whether Mr. Harper and his government have a concrete climate change action plan so that he can negotiate from a position of strength with other world leaders in Copenhagen?
