I don't think Steven Guilbeault would agree with us today if we told him that we are a leader in the fight against climate change.
Mr. Imseis, my next question may come out of left field, so you may not be able to answer it. I'm seeking your expertise as a professor at the faculty of law at Queen's University to better understand the situation internationally from a legal perspective. Do wealthier countries that emit greenhouse gases and are the largest contributors to climate change recognize that the countries with the lowest emissions are the first to be affected? I'm thinking of places like Tuvalu in the South Pacific, where rising sea levels threaten to completely submerge its territory.
Do countries that are largely responsible for climate change not have an obligation towards countries that are not responsible but are nevertheless its victims?
