Hi Jim,

I was reading this thread a couple of days ago, and saw an ad in today's paper here pointing to a new (2002/11/26) Gov. of Canada publication - don't know if you saw it. The published Web report is short on details, but the "Plan for Canada" page has a link to the full report in PDF format. I haven't read the full report (68 pages) carefully through yet, but it seems to be fairly detailed.

>But I do have to wonder how much of this is also to gain leverage on other issues like medicare funding and getting their hands on the HUGE surpluses generated by the GST (which I think are much much bigger than is ever publicized). I know that if I was a Premier that's exactly what I would do.

>At least we all agree that something needs to be done. Personally, I see value in using Kyoto as the vehicle, if only to be able to say accurately that in international affairs we mean what we say and we do what we mean. Of course the Premiers, and other entities too, need to be part of the solution process.
