Thank you to carry an interest in this petition has.
This present petition is for the resignation of the Prime Minister Stephen Harper and also his minister Jim Prentice for the bad management of the evolution of clean energy concepts, since their entry in power and to their capacity of managing on the level of the environment. Our money always badly spent, cries, with this scandal since too long. This government is in need for a historical lesson which it will not forget so early. The resignation of those major politicians will show to them, that us, the population, desire massive investment in environements towards a durable and clean energy.
This is the actual investiment in environement done per the conservator for 2009:
- $1 billion over five years for clean energy research development and demonstration projects, including capture and storage;
- A new $1 billion Green Infrastructure Fund to support projects like public transit, sustainable energy and waste management;
- $1.3 billion over two years to support renovations and energy retrofits that will make Canada%u2019s social housing stock more energy efficient, to be split on a 50/50 cost-shared basis with the provinces;
- $300 million over two years to go to the ecoENERGY Retrofit program to support an additional 200,000 energy-saving home retrofits;
- $250 million over two years to maintain federal laboratories;
- $85 million over two years for key Arctic research stations, and $2 million over two years for a feasibility study for a world-class Arctic research station;
- $80.5 million over the next two years to manage and assess federal contaminated sites, which will facilitate remediation work totaling an estimated $165 million over the next two years and contribute to an improved environment as well as employment opportunities;
- $75 million for national parks; and
- $10 million in 2009-2010 to improve the government%u2019s annual reporting on key environmental indicators such as clean air, clean water and greenhouse gas emissions.
Combined, these investments demonstrate our government commitment to the environment and will enhance our ability to confront the great environmental challenges of our time.

The government spends millions of dollars every year on repairs when there are plenty of other options such as wind, solar, hydro power and geothermal energy which are environmentally friendly and safe for generations to come
