Environment committee I will be very brief, Minister. Thank you for coming. As the spokesperson for your government on environment and also as the chair of the UN's Conference of the Parties, does your government believe that climate change and global warming are the most important environmental

Environment committee international partners within the Kyoto Protocol, the G-8 plus five dialogue on climate change, and the Asia-Pacific partnership.

October 5th, 2006Committee meeting
Environment committee Thank you for your question, and thank you for the petition you've brought before me. This petition is of no surprise to me. I know full well the commitment that Canadians have to the issue of climate change. I also know the full commitment they have to seeing the improvement

Environment committee that are involved in the conference of parties subject to the Kyoto Protocol that are not reaching their targets. The Kyoto Protocol was the first big international step.
