Minister of the Environment

The majority of people in Canada truly care about the environment yet it is a very small minority who actually know the name of our environmental minister. His name is "the Honourable" Peter Kent, a Conservative first elected to the House of Commons in 2008 and became the Minister of the Environment in January 2011. His previous experience lies mainly in broadcast journalism and although he has been involved in a number of community projects, nothing really points to him being a respectable figure for leading our environment. Does animating a news report on the greenhouse effect a quarter century ago count?
