Mr. Speaker, it is true, the Conservative Party is the “block everything” party. However, the Conservatives are not even consistent. They delayed with respect to the Canada-Ukraine free trade agreement, and suddenly, in the 11th hour, with about a week left, they came up with this red herring that it had something to do with a price on pollution. Some hon. members: Oh, oh! Mr. Mark Gerretsen: I hear the heckling from my Conservative colleagues. Mr. Speaker, Ukraine has had a price on pollution since 2011. As a matter of fact, the only way it could get into the European market was to commit to that. This is nothing more than a red herring. Is the minister concerned that the delay of this bill is, once again, just another red herring being put out there by Conservatives? Some hon. members: Oh, oh!
