Stephane Dion Quotations

Who can put a lot of confidence in a study that said that the best performer regarding environment is Turkey?

People who have sent their delegates here want real progress, ... That's why here in Montreal, we have to get results.

We will discuss a post-Kyoto deal during the conference, but we're obviously not going to agree on a second phase with clear objectives right away, ... That will take several years.

It would take years with a really uncertain outcome,

I will certainly welcome any idea that may bring the United States closer to Canada, Europe, Japan, England and other countries as partners in this convention, ... We cannot do without the Americans because they represent 25 percent of emissions, and an even greater percentage of the solution.

It's not an ideal situation, but the show must go on.

I want Canada to be the country that is the best in the world at combining economic growth, social justice and environmental sustainability...

Canada must be a leader of climate change, ... It's important for us, for our north, for our role in the world.

Canada is indeed far behind but Canada is not giving up,

Canada is aiming for that goal. It's the greatness of our country.
