the commonwealth land to achieve. i say this because the ipcc fourth assessment report actually said that carbon dioxide emissions are projected it to grow between 2000 to 2030 to 410% globally. so keeping this in mind, i would like to reassert that this is ridiculous for us to think that we can reduce carbon emissions by 100%. and i would also like to rmind this house that our primary concern for our country is economic growth. and we need to keep our eyes fixed on this. i do believe that the climate change agenda is important. it's definitely important. but it should not be at the expense of economic growth to our land. and i also believe that a carbon tax should not be imposed. the inflationary effects that this can have on our country would be very drastic, and we do not want this for our nation. and the loss of competitiveness of our goods would go down and we do not want this, either. so i would propose for ladies and gentlemen to please vote against this motion. thank you. >> gentleman there? >> [ inaudible ] y

representing the commonwealth. i think that we cannot ignore the fact that -- are going to be running out andintually finished. it's very ambitious. it's vital and very practical and realistic. i say realistic because whether we reduce the carbon emissions by 100% by 2050 or not, there will be by -- by 100%. so we need to act now. we need to act quickly. we need to stop being so dependent on them and look for greener alternates because we need to be able to function without them. thank you. >> yes. >> thank you, lord speaker. my name is raphael. part of the cdp. i don't oppose the bill. however, both the government and as it's clear the parliament haven't met the answers -- sorry, haven't answered all of my questions. firstly, we're a nation that has free education up to the age of 16 yet it's not compulsory. we're a nation that does not have a universal immunized program. this parliament's relationship with the media is not a positive one. the media is what the people think of us. how do we then expect to actually

the commonwealth looking at itself to try to update itself. one idea is to appoint the commissioner for human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. it is not quite clear yet how this person would operate and what sanctions he will be able to bring. at the moment, the ultimate sanction is to expel people from the commonwealth, in the past, countries like zimbabwe and one or two other countries. the point is it is a new step forward. the whole idea of this report is to modernize the commonwealth. its leaders felt as though it was becoming irrelevant in a world dominated his by the g8, g20, united nations, nato. it was to publicize itself more as an organization. it represents one-third of the world's population and it really wants to halt its profile. they're thinking about appointing this commissioner and making a couple of other changes to help down that road. >> thank you. hundreds of people gathered at the statue of liberty in new york to celebrate its 120th birthday it has become an enduring symbol of america. a gift from france in 1886.
