Statement made on 11 December 2009 by Senator Grant Mitchell

Hon. Grant Mitchell:

Honourable senators, I am encouraged, and many of us are, to hear Minister Prentice say that he has a plan on climate change and that it is clear. I have asked before and, as honourable senators know, I have had great oratory from the leader about Copenhagen. The honourable leader reads those cards as though she is speaking.

I want to shift the focus from Copenhagen generally to the plan that is clear, and that the minister might speak about in Copenhagen on behalf of Canadians. Plans generally have several specific items; certainly climate change plans do.

Can the leader tell us what is said in Mr. Prentice's clear plan about when he estimates that greenhouse gas emissions in Canada will peak?
