Mr. Speaker, at the same time, Canada once again extended an invitation to COP15 on biodiversity being held in Montreal. The event is three weeks away and not one head of state has confirmed their attendance. Obviously, all countries are quite aware that Canada is approving oil exploration drilling in a marine protected area. Canada does not even allow fishing in those areas to protect biodiversity, yet it allows companies to bore through the ocean floor to find oil. If not all that many people are interested in attending COP15, it may be because they believe that Canada has no credibility on biodiversity, as is the case with the fight against climate change.
