OK...so she got a date wrong. That doesn't change the fact that during his tenure as Environment Minister GGE did go up about 35%. Hardly talking points.
The 35% increase in GGE is from the date Kyoto was signed in 1993, NOT during the time Dion was Environment Minister. Also, why did they increase? Largely due to the oil boom in Conservative Alberta and secondly, due to a manufacturing boom in Ontario caused by a low Canadian Dollar.
OK, so during the entire period of Liberal majority (1993-2004) and minority (2004-2006), GGE increased 35%. Thanks for clearing up who's REALLY responsible.
Also, Dion admitted in December 2006 that the government of the previous mandate (PM Martin, where Dion was Environment Minister) had not managed to make advancements towards minimizing GGE. That's Dion talking, not me.
Let's look back in 10 years and see how much they increased under the Conservatives especially with the massive oil boom of this past summer and $150/barrel oil.
Gloria Kovach would get my vote if I was in that riding!! So, instead I'll just have to vote for Minister of Justice/Attorney General Rob Nicholson! =)
I vote Conservative, but Kovach is wrong.
Dion was only the environment minister from July 2004-Feb 2006 NOT for 13 years.
Kovach messed up her talking points.

Wrong again skippy.

Keep ignoring the main reasons for the increases.
