In return, it will share in certified emission reduction credits. Domestically, Canada also intends to implement a system of 'credit for early action' so that verifiable early actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions can be applied against any future obligations. Citizen Engagement Realizing these three wins cannot be done without the engagement of citizens and communities. We must all work together to improve the state of our environment. I am constantly amazed at the results achieved when citizens come together to solve a common problem.
Citizens have the right to know what is going on and how to get involved.
I strongly believe in consulting with Canadian citizens to find out what they think. Our goal is to empower ordinary Canadians in a transparent consultative process. We want people to be able to ask the questions. But we also want them to have the answers to what they can do in their own communities. One of the ways we, in Canada, are encouraging direct citizen participation is through the Millennium Eco-Communities initiative that I launched last year.
