You said that we need new targets. You even said that you intend to go beyond the Kyoto Protocol.

Does that imply that Canada is asking the international community to delay its commitment to a 6% reduction of its emissions between 2008 and 2012 to the second greenhouse gas reduction period? Are you saying that you will abide by the Kyoto Protocol, but only in 2025? Is this part of the strategies and assumptions you are suggesting today?
