16. Remarks also that certain forms of renewable energy – for example wind power – are variable and need to be backed up or balanced by a reliable and flexible energy technology; expresses the view that natural gas – including shale gas – could be one of the options available for that purpose among several other solutions such as increased interconnection, better system management and control via smart grids at ...[+++]all network levels, energy storage and demand side management; recognises the importance of CCS in ensuring the long-term sustainability of gas as an energy source;

5.1 Foods or food ingredients with added phytosterols, phytosterol esters, phytostanols or phytostanol esters | (1) ‘with added plant sterols’ or ‘with added plant stanols’ in the same field of vision as the name of the food; (2) the amount of added phytosterols, phytosterol esters, phytostanols or phytostanol esters content (expressed in % or as g of free plant sterols/plant stanols per 100 g or 100 ml of the food) shall be stated in the list of ingredients; (3) a statement that the food is intended exclusively for people who want to lower their blood cholesterol level; (4) a statement that patients on cholesterol lowering medication should only consume the product under medical supervision; (5) an easily visible statement that the food ma ...[+++]y not be nutritionally appropriate for pregnant or breastfeeding women and children under the age of five years; (6) advice that the food is to be used as part of a balanced and varied diet, including regular consumption of fruit and vegetables to help maintain carotenoid levels; (7) in the same field of vision as the statement required under point 3) above, a statement that the consumption of more than 3 g/day of added plant sterols/plant stanols should be avoided; (8) a definition of a portion of the food or food ingredient concerned (preferably in g or ml) with the amount of the plant sterol/plant stanol that each portion contains.

Mr. Nathan Cullen: The one important thing I want to say, though, is that as we approach the conversations of the substantive tools and measures we need to wrestle greenhouse gases under control in this country, almost to an amendment the government has tried to get them ruled out of order, has chosen to seek delay or to bring in notions of political rhetoric and these types of things.

Such a basic solution as establishing a fund to support the sector’s modernisation is patently preferable to a palliative solution, such as a return to the traditional ways of controlling production via milk quotas.

32. Underlines that, contrary to the electricity and fuel sectors, the European Union has no systematic approach to support renewable energies in the heating and cooling sector, even though the dependence on gas and oil imports is particularly high in this sector and the costs of increasing the share of renewable energies are comparatively low; therefore calls for a strategy making renewable heating and cooling units competitive by increasing production. States in this regard that bureaucratic regulations at EU level for owners and b ...[+++]uilders of houses are not the appropriate way, and that preference should be given to a directive setting realistic but ambitious targets and coordinating the Member States' actions based on temporary limited incentives for market access;

Hon. Sheila Copps (Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Environment, Lib.): Mr. Speaker, it is sad to see that, on an issue as vital as greenhouse gas emissions, the Bloc Quebecois would rather play politics than join in the search by developed and developing countries alike for a global solution to a global problem.
