Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for her question. It is a very important and appropriate question.
Many of the commitments in the red book on environment and sustainable development have been realized. We are also cognizant of the international commitment that was made at Rio and at Berlin on behalf of Canada and the international community. Climate change is something that we take seriously.
A meeting is coming up some time in November involving all the ministers of the environment and energy from Canada. At that time we will receive the advice from the experts on how we are doing on those commitments.
It is also fair to say that if the targets are not met, then it is important for not only Canada but for all countries to be transparent and open. Only through that transparency will we be able to redouble and renew the commitments that the international community made at Rio, confirmed at Berlin, and that is my intention.
