Statement made on 09 December 2009 by Senator Grant Mitchell
Hon. Grant Mitchell:
Honourable senators, I am not asking for accountability; I am asking for an answer. Yesterday, I asked the Leader of the Government in the Senate a question and I listened intently; I am pretty sure I did not get an answer. I have been inspired by the advice that Senator Grafstein said he received from Pierre Elliot Trudeau, which is to never give up.
Could the Leader of the Government in the Senate please tell me about her own position — I am not asking about anyone else's — on the science of climate change. Does she believe that climate change is occurring and that human activity has created it, yes or no?
