New Tory environment minister heads UN body overseeing treaty

[CHIMO]

Vancouver — Canada's new Conservative environment minister is taking over leadership of a key United Nations body overseeing the Kyoto Protocol but plans to use the post to push the party's differing vision on climate change.

Rona Ambrose confirmed Friday that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has given notice to the UN that she will succeed her Liberal predecessor Stephane Dion in Canada's presidency of the Conference of Parties.

"We have some action plans that we have that you'll become familiar with in a short while around attacking climate change and clean air. It gives us an opportunity at the international stage to come forward with some of these ideas."

"On Kyoto, I will tell you that our government and our prime minister is very clear that there has to be a direct benefit to the Canadian environment and potentially to Canadian commercial investment in clean-air technology."

A bit confusing and it seams like she is confused about the issue too.

Benefit to the environment and to business. Now why is it that the people are hidden somewhere in there?

Are the people supposed to be the environment. And what is the potential to Canadian investment?

Investment is investment. You can't discriminate. Totally confused person. Guess that things change when one can't blame the other person.
