Canada to honour Kyoto commitment
Canada to honour Kyoto commitment Prime Minister Chretien declared that Canada will
live up to its commitments to reduce greenhouse gases. Canada
signed the international climate-change treaty in Japan in 1997,

unaltered, carbon dioxide emissions will grow 35 per cent by
2010. APRIL 4, 2001
