This investment, along with the $625 million over five years announced in Budget 2000, results in a total commitment of $1.1 billion to address climate change over the next five years, and builds on the $850 million that the Government of Canada spent during the previous five years.
All the countries of the world have been meeting every year since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol to define the operational rules of the Protocol - in other words, the international administrative framework within which countries will take steps to meet their Kyoto targets.
