Thank you.
I think it's really important to distinguish between our participation in Kyoto and Canada's inability to meet one specific aspect of our participation, and that is the 6% target. That does not, in any way, mean that we are no longer participants in the Kyoto Protocol. As I mentioned earlier, the Kyoto Protocol does have provisions for nations that don't meet their targets. Penalties will be applied in subsequent periods, and obviously the emissions reduction targets for everybody, for future Kyoto periods--that is, beyond 2008 to 2012--remain to be negotiated.
A huge international challenge also involves broadening Kyoto so that countries that currently do not have emissions targets are brought on board. And I'm speaking specifically of some of the major developing countries, like China and India.
Canada has a vital international role to play in strengthening and broadening the Kyoto Protocol and in extending it further into the future to provide certainty, not only for Canadians but for all citizens of the world as we move forward. This is a global challenge, and it will require a global effort to address the problem.
