For the past many months, I have chaired a federal-provincial-territorial working group involving representatives of all Canadian jurisdictions, including Quebec, to inform and consult on Canada's positions in these negotiations. From my perspective, that has gone very well, and it lays the foundation for ongoing collaboration with Quebec and other provinces and territories. In Copenhagen and beyond, as we go forward, we will have provincial and territorial representatives as part of my negotiating team. We expect to have very strong representation from the provinces and territories in Copenhagen. We will work with them in a collaborative way.
The federal government supports strong, effective, ambitious action by the provinces and territories in their areas of competency and has contributed financially to achieving those goals. From my perspective, we have a very strong partnership with Quebec in these negotiations.
