From Hansard:
They are pretending that they support Kyoto. They have never supported Kyoto. They do not support Kyoto and they never will. then Liberal cabinet minister David Emerson tells the truth on April 18th, 2005, referring to the Conservative Party

Emerson on February 3, 2005 reiterating his support for a plan which then Environment Minister Stéphane Dion had created
Given Emerson, who was then Industry Minister, worked with Dion to create a plan which both believed was viable at the time, its only natural to wonder why Canada’s “new” government’s minister of Industry, Maxime Bernier, believes the plan to be folly.
