I am disappointed that we are only reaching it now. I am disappointed in the group that did not get involved at Doha. I was surprised to see the disappointing rules of Canada and New Zealand, countries which I thought were role models for dealing with climate change. I thought they would be more progressive. We need to encourage them along the line.

When we start laying out the roadmap for this committee next year we need to move as quickly as possible on this and not be hitting the targets towards the end of the year but at the beginning.
