I want Canada to be the country that is the best in the world at combining economic growth, social justice and environmental sustainability...

I am proud to announce that the government of Canada is showing leadership at this milestone meeting to address climate change by hosting a carbon neutral event,

Canada is aiming for that goal. It's the greatness of our country.

Canada is indeed far behind but Canada is not giving up,

Canada must be a leader of climate change, ... It's important for us, for our north, for our role in the world.

In fact, the government of Canada wants to be a partner, when we decide together that some projects would gain to be funded by the two governments together. It's what we need to have,

In order to preserve and protect our environment from the effect of greenhouse gases and air pollutants, the Government of Canada is working hand-in-hand with province, territories, the industry sector, other stakeholders, and all Canadians,

Instead of having a kind of blame game, with the countries which have targets saying to the others you're wrong not to accept targets, and the countries without targets saying to the others deliver your targets and we'll speak to you after - why not do our homework within Kyoto, but at the same time open up a broader process including everyone, in order to improve our capacity to work together?

I'm waiting to see what happens this weekend. I hope it's an open race, and a transparent one, one that's focused on ideas, substance and policies and not on personal attacks.

I never miss an opportunity to meet kids everywhere in Canada because I'm a teacher by profession,
