Annual Report 2006-2007 – Letter From the Chair and President and CEO
July 2007
Dear Minister:
We are pleased to submit to you the 2006–2007 Annual Report of the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE).
In June 2006, the NRTEE released findings and advice to the government on a long-term climate change and energy strategy. This strategy was based on a scenario developed by the NRTEE that examined how, by 2050, Canada could meet the energy needs of a growing economy, achieve substantial reductions in carbon emissions, and improve air quality. This was followed by a national outreach initiative to nine Canadian cities to promote awareness of and gather feedback on this advice.
Since then our efforts have focused on providing advice on greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission reductions in support of Canada’s proposed Clean Air Regulatory Agenda.
In parallel with our work on Canada’s Clean Air Act, and in partnership with other organizations, we continue to examine how all Canadians can adapt to climate change, particularly as it affects the northern parts of our country.
Over the years, the NRTEE has developed expertise that positions us well to provide a unique and substantial contribution to Canada’s performance. We are committed to maintaining a focus on our mandate and to helping the federal government face the sustainable development challenge head-on in 2007 and beyond.
We look forward to continuing to provide your office with current information and advice throughout 2007–2008.
Yours sincerely,
| Glen Murray Chair |
