House motion passes supporting Kyoto
Members of Parliament voted Monday in favour of a motion from Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion that reaffirms Canada's support for the Kyoto Protocol.
Members of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservative government followed party orders and voted unanimously against it, but 161 MPs voted in favour and 115 against the motion. Harper was not present for the vote.
Dion's non-binding motion, which was introduced Feb. 1, demands the government 'honour the principles and targets of the Kyoto Protocol in their entirety,' and calls on the Tories to create and publish a credible plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
(Wonder if we'll stop seeing those annoying Tory ads about the Liberal's lack of action on the environment...)
