Conservatives Embarrass Canada on World Stage
November 26, 2007
Prime Minister Stephen Harper must show leadership by working with the
international community to combat one of the greatest threats facing
mankind, instead of embarrassing Canada on the world stage by blocking
efforts to tackle climate change, the Liberal Opposition said today.
"The world agrees that climate change must be fought with firm targets
and binding commitments," said Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion. "At the
Commonwealth conference, the Prime Minister stood in the way of
progress: he sabotaged the conference.
"Why is the Prime Minister leading Canadians in a race to the bottom
in the worst ecological threat facing humanity?"
Mr. Dion was referring to Mr. Harper's shameful performance at the
Commonwealth heads of government meeting in Uganda, where Canada was
virtually alone in blocking an agreement among 53 countries that would
have bound them to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
"The Prime Minister showed at the Commonwealth conference that he
doesn't believe in climate change," said Mr. Dion. "He spent his whole
adult life denying its very existence. When you don't have any
conviction, you can't make bold decisions for Canada or for the
world.
"Instead of leading by example, this Prime Minister was sabotaging the
Commonwealth process. We want our nation to be part of this fight
against climate change but you don't go second, when you're Canada,
you lead."
Deputy Leader Michael Ignatieff said the disappointing outcome of the
Summit is due to Mr. Harper's stubborn 'I'm right and everyone else is
wrong' approach.
"To the Prime Minister everyone else is wrong on climate change: the
Commonwealth is wrong, the United Nations is wrong, the science is
wrong," said Mr. Ignatieff. "When the Commonwealth turned to Canada
and asked to commit to binding targets, Canada looked away."
The Liberal Opposition believes that leadership means taking real
action on important issues that matter to Canadians. Climate change is
one of them. It's time Mr. Harper stops jeopardizing Canada's
international reputation and shows leadership in the global effort to
fight climate change.
