Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the federal government has been going through a number of different scenarios on how to implement this Kyoto Protocol. They are aiming to ratify a plan. The implementation plan is narrowed down to different options right now but there is consultation going on, the federal government is going around the country now holding a number of different meetings.
One of the reasons for the delay of the meeting on the 21st is that consultation has not been concluded. The long-awaited implementation plan by the federal government is going to be announced on the 28th now and we do not know the details of it.
Our position at the joint Ministers meeting has been that yes, we support the Kyoto Protocol but we need more information on how this is going to be implemented in Canada. The task of the territorial government would be to take whatever implementation is there and analyze it and determine from there what kind of impact it is going to have on industries in the North. Thank you.
