May 8 to June 8, 2007 - Stephen Harper takes Canada's climate change plan to the G-8 meeting in Berlin, saying it can be an example to other nations of how a country can reduce greenhouse gasses outside the Kyoto framework. Harper pressed for an inclusive approach that would allow nations currently without Kyoto targets, who together produce 70% of the world's greenhouse gasses, to participate in an international agreement in the post-Kyoto round of negotiations. Liberal leader Stephan Dion, NDP leader Jack Layton, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, environmentalist David Suzuki continue their opposition to the government's plan, saying Canada must meet its Kyoto targets beginning 2008.
