I find it interesting that all the questions, even from the NDP, had nothing to do with Bill C-311. It was all about Copenhagen. It's also ironic that the NDP voted against the budget and the commitment of millions of dollars for clean energy. They voted against that.
The focus is on Copenhagen. There's great interest in that. We heard on Tuesday, as I said before, from the scientists on the importance of having a North American approach. The target we take to Copenhagen is a North American target of a 20% reduction by 2020. We heard from scientists that it's good to have a coordinated approach.
You talked at length about comparable efforts from other countries. The North American commitment of a 20% reduction is comparable globally as we globally tackle the issue of climate change. What are Canada's key priorities as we go into Copenhagen? What is the approach of the major emitters, such as China, India, and other developing countries, towards these negotiations?
It's critical that we have all the players participating. As you highlighted, one of the weaknesses in Kyoto was that we did not have the major emitters participating. To have a successful, effective agreement you have to have the major emitters. What are our key priorities, and what's the approach of China, India, and other developing countries?
