Have you heard of the MARRAKECH AGREEMENT? Do you know what Canada will be committing to under it by ratifying the KYOTO ACCORD now being debated in the House of Commons? If you do you are one of very few. | ||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
|
If fully aware, my apology for drawing it to your attention. | ||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
|
If not, the several links below when looked at may lead you to inform you of what Canada will be committed to should ratification go ahead as planned by the Federal Government. More data can be obtain through using http://www.google.ca/ which was the source sought upon hearing of the AGREEMENT's existence yesterday. | ||||||
