We often hear that Canada is responsible for less than 2% of greenhouse gas emissions, so we wonder why, in this case, it would take action.
I'd like to know a little bit about what the international discussions are like. I have seen the figures, and it is true that Canada is responsible for less than 2% of greenhouse gas emissions. On the other hand, it is also true that, taken together, all countries that are responsible for less than 2% of greenhouse gas emissions are ultimately responsible for at least 40% of the total emissions in the world. That is why there needs to be a global effort.
What is the attitude of the countries responsible for less than 2% of greenhouse gas emissions, whether at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change or in other international organizations? Are they using that argument to say that they're not going to do anything, that they're going to sit back and wait for the U.S. and China to act? Is that the attitude of the international community at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change or in other international forums?
