We need a new agreement, a post-Kyoto agreement, that includes all of the major emitting countries, whether they be developed countries or developing countries
My colleague, minister of the environment Peter Kent, recently cleared the project and gave it the green light to move on to the next step of the regulatory approval process
We haven't identified the major focus of our funding, but as you know, the prime minister, when he signed the Copenhagen agreement, committed to $1.2 billion in fast-start financing over three years ... The first year has been assigned and we'll be reporting back at Durban on the first year's investment...
Poor Peter Kent looks like he’s twisting in the wind
We will not obstruct those who want to take a second commitment of Kyoto
Canada is awarded the first place Fossil of the Day for proposing ‘eventual solutions’ for ‘urgent problems’. Canadian environment minister, Peter Kent, told media yesterday that: 'There is an urgency to this. We don’t need a binding convention, what we need is action and a mandate to work on an eventua...
We've made very clear this year that we will not make a second commitment to Kyoto
Our government believes that the previous Liberal government signing on to Kyoto was one of the biggest blunders they made, particularly given they had no intention of fulfilling that commitment
I'm neither confirming nor denying (that report)
Our commitment is to Copenhagen and to a realistic plan to reduce greenhouse gases in alignment with our neighbour and closest trading partner with whom we have very integrated economies to reduce our greenhouse gases on a continental basis
We are going to Durban to constructively work and to negotiate with all of the other parties to the convention to move towards a mandate to create a new international agreement, eventually binding, which would include all the major developed and developing emitters
We will not make a second commitment to Kyoto
We believe -- and I raise this at every opportunity with the parties to the convention -- that we consider Kyoto to have been eclipsed by the Cancun agreements, particularly, but also by the Copenhagen commitments that many more of the major emitters have embraced than Kyoto
There is an urgency to this ... We don't need a binding convention, what we need is action and a mandate to work on an eventual binding convention.
This isn't the day ... This is not the time to make an announcement (about Kyoto) beyond the announcement on the clean air regulatory agenda.
We're balancing the need to address our obligations under Copenhagen and Cancun, but at the same time, we're also very aware that we're not going to strand capital, we're not going to threaten jobs in any of the sectors
I'd be delighted if I came back with fewer fossil awards than John Baird or Jim Prentice
I'm neither confirming or denying (the report)
I'm neither confirming nor denying ... This isn't the day. This is not the time to make an announcement.
We're going to Durban to work in common cause with the other parties to the convention to advance a new climate change agreement, binding eventually, which will engage all emitters in both the developed and the develeoping countries

I won't comment on a speculative report
Kyoto is the past, Copenhagen and Cancun are the future
It will help us identify emerging air quality issues, measure and monitor the status of existing ones, and determine solutions that will allow Canadians to — literally — breathe easier
We don't have great expectations for this COP 17 meeting.
We talk about this on quite a regular basis
