To get serious, any greenhouse emissions deal signed in Kyoto is doomed to failure if the provinces do not co-operate.
Last month the environment minister met with her counterparts and they agreed to certain levels. Now those levels have been changed by the federal government twice. The Saskatchewan negotiators are refusing to go to Kyoto. The Government of Alberta says that it has been betrayed by the actions of the federal government.
My question is for the Prime Minister. How does he intend to force the Kyoto deal on the provinces when they feel so betrayed by the way it was developed?
