Transmittal Letter from the Chair and President and CEO

July 2009

Dear Minister:

The National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE) is pleased to submit to you its third response to its obligations under the Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act (KPIA) with respect to the government’s 2009 Climate Change Plan and Statement.

In carrying out its statutory obligations, the NRTEE has undertaken research, gathered information, and produced a written response as required. This activity focused on addressing Subsections 10(1)(b)(i) and 10(1)(b)(ii) of the Act. As allowed for under Subsection 10(1)(b)(iii), the Round Table has also reviewed and commented upon broader aspects of the issue as it relates to the government’s Plan and Statement.

With this document, the NRTEE has fulfilled the filing requirements of Section 10 of the Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act.

We wish to thank officials of Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Transport Canada, and the Commissioner of Environment and Sustainable Development for their cooperation in providing information that we used in the preparation of this response.

We hope this document will be useful to you, the government, and Parliament in considering climate change policies and greenhouse gas emission reductions.

Yours sincerely,
