Mr. Speaker, if there were any attitude of defeat or failure, it was under the previous government that simply did not take action. We developed a plan.
I would add that together with the EU, again in our joint declaration today, the Prime Minister and Chancellor Merkel said the following:
We will also work together and with other nations to deliver results in our global efforts to confront climate change through the upcoming G8 Summit in Heiligendamm and our numerous multilateral partnerships.
The targets that have been articulated by Angela Merkel of 60% to 70% reductions are exactly the same, in effect, as our targets over the long term to 2050.
