Obviously the scientific consensus is strong, so I'm not going to get into that debate, but I would comment on the need to challenge this perspective or rhetoric that somehow Canada should not be participating in international negotiations.
It comes back to our security. It comes back to the comments made by Mr. Bigras around the issue of adaptation. This country will be hit hard by climate change, and it will hurt our economy. We can only protect Canada if we secure reductions from all countries in the world. That's why we have to show that we are serious about our targets, so that we can demonstrate leadership so that other countries will take on comparable targets.
That's why we'd better be in Bonn, that's why we'd better be in Nairobi, and that's why we'd better be in Bali.
