Federal Environment Minister Peter Kent today responded to charges by environmental groups that the Conservative government is "gutting the country's environment regulations." Minister Kent spoke with reporters outside his workplace. A portion of the question-and-answer exchange follows:
Reporter: "Sir, this coalition of environmental groups--Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, the David Suzuki Foundation, et al.--has charged that your government is not working for Canadians. They say you're working for the oil companies. How do you respond to that?"
PK: "With a vigorous denial. Our government is committed to the people of this country, whether they like it or not. We are not in league with the oil companies."
Reporter: "Thank you, Sir, for clearing that up. You are definitely not working for Big Oil."
PK: "That's correct. Now, was that Hi-Test or Regular? And shall I clean your windshield? Check your tires?"
