You also spoke about a national strategy versus a federal strategy. You say that it will not be easy to drawup a national strategy, because you will again have to consult with the provinces and all relevant stakeholders to set those objectives and targets.

Did anyone ever say that we needed a national strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
