Description
The ever-looming possibility of a spring election set the tone for the early months of 2007, with repeated opposition challenges in the form of Supply Motions, Private Members' Bills and Committee Reports rejecting the government's policies and counteracting its legislative proposals. Opposition initiatives were focused mainly on the environment, Afghanistan, law and order, and economic policy. On the environmental front, the House debated (February 1, 2007) and adopted (on February 5, 2007) a non-binding Supply Motion sponsored by the Leader of the Opposition, Stephane Dion, calling for the government to "honour the principles and targets of the Kyoto Protocol in their entirety". This was followed in short order by the adoption, on February 14, 2007, of the motion for third reading and passage of Bill C-288, a private Member's bill standing in the name of Pablo Rodriguez. Presently under consideration by the Senate, the resulting statute would require the government to table a detailed plan for meeting Canada's Kyoto targets within 60 days and to report annually to Parliament on its progress in this regard.
