Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We've heard a lot of talk since the new government--now not-so-new government--came into office. We've heard talk about liaising with the Americans and the Australians to talk about climate change, the implication being that the Kyoto process was not appropriate for Canada. Then we heard about strategies revolving around the G8 and the G8+5, again implying that Kyoto was somehow being sidelined.
What I'm sincerely trying to understand is this. How do we link up all these initiatives with the Kyoto process, and what is the role of the COP 11 in Montreal in 2005? I can't remember the number of the Conference of the Parties, but how do we link up what's been going on and what will be going on in Bali with what went on in December 2005 in Montreal?
I'd really like to understand how it all comes together.
