“I talked with the environment ministers from Colombia and the Netherlands before the Santa Marta climate conference. I could not go, but our top negotiator did. Canada was one of the few oil-producing countries there. We are still working to fight climate change around the world.”

“Mr. Speaker, I actually had the opportunity to speak with the minister of environment for Colombia and the minister of environment for the Netherlands in advance of the Santa Marta conference. They are the ones who organized it. I was unable to attend because I was here for the spring economic update, but our top negotiator was present for it. We were actually one of the few countries that produces conventional energy that was participating in this conference. We are continuing to be there, to fight climate change and to make sure we have an important role globally.”
