Justin Trudeau asks: “explain to the House what ozone is and what is the difference between its impact at low altitude and high altitude?”
Um, uh, sputter...
Mr. Kent, like every other minister during Question Period, did not waver from his talking points. Instead, of trying to answer the question he simply threw back an insult at Mr. Trudeau, criticizing the “quality” of the questions from the Liberal opposition.
The minister added: “This government would gladly compare our record on the environment, in all its dimensions to...”
At that point, a frustrated Mr. Trudeau interrupted: “You don’t know what ozone is.”

Rebekah Brooks refuses to do the right thing
Your resignation Ms Brooks would go a long way to repair the damage this affair has caused.
News Corp boss Rupert Murdoch has said Rebekah Brooks is his first priority, after arriving in the UK to handle the News of the World phone-hacking crisis.
He flew into London on Sunday and went to News International (NI), which News Corp owns, for talks with executives.
He appeared later with Mrs Brooks, NI chief executive. Asked what his priority was, he said "this one" gesturing at her and smiling.
She has been under pressure about her former editorship of News of the World.
It was announced just last week that the paper would close, with its final edition printed on Sunday and about 200 people losing their jobs.
Mrs Brooks was the NoW editor in 2002 when voicemails on murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler's mobile phone were allegedly intercepted.

Hey England, release Paul Chambers, you look like morons on a global scale
Tweeters have joined forces to support Paul Chambers, the man convicted and fined for a Twitter message threatening to blow up an airport.
The Twitter community is angry that the 27-year-old accountant has failed to overturn his conviction.
A day after his appeal failed, two "hashtags" to highlight his situation remain top topics in the UK.
Free speech advocate Index on Censorship said the UK judiciary was out of step with social networks.
"The verdict demonstrates that the UK's legal system has little respect for free expression, and has no understanding of how people communicate in the 21st Century," said the organisation's news editor Padraig Reidy.
