The motion was clear and it called on the government to list microbeads as a toxic substance under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. Instead of promising real action, all the Conservatives are saying is that they are going to try to add it to the agenda of a meeting. We did not vote on that. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4024003\" data-originallang=\"en\">Do the Conservatives plan to stand by their vote or are they just trying to weasel their way out of responsibility for protection of the environment?</p>",

Elle demandait clairement au gouvernement d'ajouter les microbilles \u00e0 la liste des substances toxiques contr\u00f4l\u00e9es en vertu de la Loi canadienne sur la protection environnementale. Mais au lieu de promettre des gestes concrets, les conservateurs se contentent de dire qu'ils essaieront d'ajouter ce sujet \u00e0 l'ordre du jour d'une r\u00e9union. Ce n'\u00e9tait pas l'objet du vote. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4024003\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les conservateurs ont-ils l'intention de respecter leur vote ou tentent-ils de se d\u00e9filer pour ne pas avoir \u00e0 assumer leurs responsabilit\u00e9s \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard de l'environnement?</p>"
