If you were hoping for one or more questions about the environment in tonight's federal election debate, you were certainly disappointed. The subject did come up a few times in the leaders' remarks on Canada's place on the international stage, economic priorities, and closing statements.
So, who raised the environment in tonight's leaders' debate? Here is my count:
Jack Layton: 3 times
Stephen Harper: 1 time
Gilles Duceppe: 1 time
Michael Ignatieff: 1 time
I'll be keeping score again tomorrow night during the french debate.

I would like to have known how many times the Green Party leader, Elizabeth May, would have raised the environment.
Layton was the first to raise the environment, responding to the 2nd question about Canada's role on the world stage.
They did not raise it as a concern. Their main focus was on the economy, which in Europe has seen a trend towards green products and green industry, leading one to conclude that one of the best means of protecting our economy, (the focus of our political parties) is supporting a green economy.
