Statement made on 17 March 2010 by Senator James Cowan

Hon. James S. Cowan (Leader of the Opposition):

Honourable senators, my question is for the Leader of the Government in the Senate. A recent report released by the Pembina Institute states that the United States is outspending Canada 17.8 to 1 on a per capita basis in creating jobs that deliver renewable energy sources. That situation means Canada is losing out on the jobs for tomorrow. Can the honourable leader tell the house what specific measures this government is taking to close that job gap?
