The opposition at the time, the Conservative opposition, did some sabre rattling, threatened to bring down the government, and made all kinds of alarmist statements, such as the following one, which I hate to bring up, because it involves the chair of the environment committee, who is a fine fellow, and I want to make that clear.
L'opposition, les conservateurs, a fait des pressions, a menacé de renverser le gouvernement et a fait des déclarations alarmistes comme celle que je vais vous citer qui vient du président du comité de l'environnement, une bonne personne.
