The Masks are off….

See here and here for an elaboration of this,

Ottawa will delay the release of climate regulations until there is a firm agreement on a global approach and clarity on how the United States intends to regulate emissions – which could take until late 2010,

and the Minister’s comments

“In the absence of an international understanding, and in the absence of an international framework, it is difficult for any country to finalize domestic policies and to put in place its domestic approach — whether that’s a regulatory approach or a cap and trade, or something else,”

I guess if Canada developed a Regulatory Framework on Industrial Emissions when the US said it would do nothing and we had clear international commitments under Kyoto, then it would only make sense to abandon the Regulatory Framework in light of US action and a uncertain international agreement.

And they called Prime Minister Martin Mr. Dithers.

  1. Remember which government used to say this?

    “We needed a made-in-Canada solution, not one negotiated internationally in far off exotic places”
