Using 1990 as the proverb

 Using 1990 as the base year, Canada's emissions are now 24 percent higher, while the United States is up by 14 percent. The United States' performance is superior to Canada's, even though it is outside Kyoto.

 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.

 There is little evidence that mandatory emissions caps actually work. For example, since signing the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, which mandates the reduction of carbon emissions, both Canada and Greece have seen a nearly 25 percent increase in emissions. According to the European Environment Agency, 13 EU nations that signed onto the Kyoto Protocol are on track to miss their 2010 emissions targets.

 The United States and Canada must immediately reduce their greenhouse-gas emissions to slow the damage.

 I can tell you with confidence that Israel is not spying in the United States or in the Pentagon -- period, ... Since the [Jonathan] Pollard case 20 years ago, there was clear and firm decision not to spy against the United States government or in the United States, and therefore I am 100 percent confident that there is no Israeli involvement in this case.

 Since 1990, we've significantly cut toxic emissions and risks in the United States. This tool will help EPA and states refine our understanding and approaches to further reduce air toxics.

 It's a delicate balancing act. I am sure that Stephen Harper wants good relations with President Bush and the United States, but any Canadian prime minister has to keep a noticeable independence from the United States or he loses credibility in Canada.

 If the United States actually does the right thing -- that is, drop the duties and return our money -- the support package can be reviewed. Until then, the Government of Canada will stand behind our workers and we will keep reminding the United States of the need to respect the letter and spirit of NAFTA.

 Timber values across Canada on average are 70 percent less than the comparable values in the free market economy that exists in the United States.

 I do see the Bank of Canada looking to raise rates, and the converging yield curve between Canada and the United States will continue to underpin the Canadian dollar.

 Many consumers do not realize that E-10, a commonly available blend of 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline, can run in all automobiles currently sold in the United States. In fact, all major auto manufacturers that sell cars in the United States have approved ethanol- enriched fuels. Many even explicitly recommend using ethanol for its clean- burning benefits.

 Since 1990, we've significantly cut toxic emissions and risks in the United States.

 But I tell you I was very proud of them, because they took it with such great class. Both of them. They said, 'We are not judges, we've done our best.' And it was a fabulous performance, and I am told that in Canada they had a strong reaction, and even in the United States.

 We expect CO2 emissions growth in China between now and 2030 will equal the growth of the United States, Canada, all of Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Korea combined,

 Canada needs the United States for trade and a lot of reasons. Without the U.S., Canada is Honduras, but colder and much less interesting. I think that makes -- the dependency makes Canadians understandably resentful.
