Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for Renewable Resources. Madam Speaker, I understand that Canada's Environment Ministers are meeting this week in Bathurst, New Brunswick to discuss a national strategy on reducing carbon pollution. I was wondering if the Minister could advise whether or not our government has taken a position on this issue.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. The Department of Renewable Resources, as far as the environment is concerned, has created some guidelines, but no enforceable regulations. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Supplementary, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I understand that one of the things that will be discussed at the meeting in Bathurst this week will be consideration of an energy tax to force people to cut fuel consumption. Given the impact this may have on northern residents, has the Minister advised the Canadian government that this government would not be in support of such a measure?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I will investigate and find out as much information as I can about this. I believe the department probably does have some information, including those from lobby groups and from those who may be in favour of this type of fee. At this time, I don't have the information, but I will endeavour to find the information and pass it on to the Minister of the Environment. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
