Part the first:
The previous Liberal government had 13 years to take action on the environment but didn’t get the job done.

Part the second:
So, the solution put on this site a little while ago by Tina is one I would support as well - namely, they don't take sides at all and admit they don't know and so are holding unbiased, public hearings in which scientists from both sides are invited to testify. The resulting chaos, with claims all over the map, will do enough to thoroughly confuse everyone (which is appropriate, actually, since the science is so immature and, frankly, confusing) and take the wind out of the sails of the "we are causing a climate disaster and must stop it" camp entirely, and the CPC can quietly turn to important issues without really having had to say much at all.

Take your time -- it'll come to you.

Hmm, seems that if climate is a non issue with these hypocritical chaps, they can hardly complain about the Liberals non action.
In essense, and fact, they are bitching about non-action on an issue that doesn't even exist. Sort of like giving your kids shit for not taking the dog for a walk when you don't even own a dog.
In other words, insane behaviour.... par for the (wingnut) course.
Boy, is Tom Harris ever a little Orwellian crap-sack. He's not promoting good science; he's promoting the manipulation of public perception.
Who pays him again?
Ti-Guy :
He doesn't like to say.
However :
"According to Harris, the idea behind the project came from Timothy Egan, President of the High Park Group, a Toronto-based lobby organization. Harris is the former head of its Ottawa office. The federal Lobbyists Registration System indicates that High Park's clients include the Canadian Electricity Association and the Canadian Gas Association.
Harris argues that there's nothing wrong with industry funding. "For the most part, it doesn't support research," he adds, "paying only for communications instead."
For which they are certainly getting their money's worth.
