One proposal for an agreement to succeed the Kyoto Protocol, whose terms expire in 2012, calls for countries to commit themselves to a new set of binding targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast, the U.S. proposal calls for each country to develop its own set of voluntary emissions reduction targets. Keeping in mind that opposing the U.S. position is likely to further strain Canada's relationship with the United States, which proposal do you think Canada should support?
