I think it seeks out ways to work together, recognizing that these are national challenges and they don't just operate in one city or one province--they're everywhere. Frankly, to make this a transformative process by which we really get the country on a sustainable path, it's going to require all governments to contribute, participate, and share. So I view it as a collaborative and positive opportunity for governments to work together.
