Worse still, the Conservative government seems to want to retain its plan for greenhouse gas emissions, a plan that has been criticized. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1243644\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Does the minister realize that he is going against a majority of Quebeckers who want the reference year to be 1990, as in the Kyoto protocol, not 2006, and that his Conservative ideology is hurting Quebec's economic development and its manufacturing sector, just so he can please the oil and gas companies?</p>",
