Environment committee to the climate change crisis in different timelines. Our own minister, your minister, went to Bali to launch the two-year negotiation round as contemplated perfectly in the Kyoto Protocol to bring annex 2 countries like India and China and others inside the tent, so that by 2012 they would

Environment committee Perhaps you could keep on the climate change issue. I don't find a lot of relevance in the War Measures Act in this one.

The ChairConservative
Environment committee know that humanity will not be able to face climate change other than by adaptation if the major economies do not participate in limitations of emissions. We know that. So you start from there. How do we get there? I think the Bali process is indeed important, but at the same time

Environment committee Mr. Morton, I'm just going to interrupt you there for a second. It's Nathan Cullen, and I'm just taking over for my colleague, Mr. Stoffer, for a moment. I welcome you both. As well, I apologize, as I had my flights cancelled in northern British Columbia. It's all this climate
February 25th, 2008Committee meeting
Environment committee I guess that's pretty much at the heart of the issue: either we think climate change is important, or it isn't. I happen to believe it is. It's also my perception that the minister believes it is. He has stated and reiterated in front of us, and I believe publicly, that he

Environment committee to the final negotiation, which, of course, as you know, went overtime in order to be done. My problem is the perception—and I certainly won't ask you about what you personally spoke of with Mr. Baird on these issues—that the government is not fully convinced that climate change

Environment committee on 1990, which was the year used in the Kyoto Protocol, and on the other you had countries like Canada that not only included 2006 as the reference year in its climate change plan but that also persuaded the other countries to adopt that position.

Environment committee observer believes can achieve even a 20% cut by 2020 by using intensity targets and 2006 as the baseline year?
