Monsieur Bigras, I am aware that you have actually been to every Conference of the Parties, so I would have to defer to your knowledge on what has happened at every Conference of the Parties over the last few years. I have only been to one Conference of the Parties, which was at Poznan. At that time, the Minister of the Environment for Quebec made a statement on behalf of subnational governments to the high-level segment. But I don't know the details of what might have happened in the past.
In these negotiations the Government of Canada, as the state party to the framework convention, speaks on behalf of Canada.
