Canadian Opposition To Pursue Ambrose All The Way To Nairobi Next Week

[hatrack]

OTTAWA -- Parliament Hill's feud over the environment is set to become a sideshow on the international stage next week when government leaders from around the globe huddle in Kenya.

All three opposition parties plan to follow Environment Minister Rona Ambrose to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Nairobi and tell the world the government's position on global warming doesn't jibe with most Canadians.

"Canadians are divided, and the majority of them think that, first of all, the Conservative government isn't doing a very good job on climate change," said Liberal environment critic John Godfrey. "So what we will do is reflect the majority of Canadians' opinions at the Nairobi meeting."

NDP critic Nathan Cullen said Ambrose embarrassed the country at a conference in Germany, when she announced the government would not meet its Kyoto Protocol commitments. "This is a minority government with a minority position," Cullen said.
