This crucial Liberal commitment will not be fulfilled, quite simply because the government has been unable to achieve a consensus among the provinces.</p>\n<p>Finally, this government has reduced the Department of the Environment \"to a significantly weaker position and has shown a more hostile position to environmental decision-making than any other government in the 25 year history of the department-The Chr\u00e9tien government's record on the environment is significantly worse than the Mulroney government record\".</p>\n<p>What more is there to add to such a damning conclusion?</p>",
