Trudeau in Malta for Commonwealth meeting

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised to meet with the premiers 90 days after the conference to hammer out a national climate change strategy.

At the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (Chogm) in Malta today, he will warn that corruption is one of the greatest enemies of our time.

Hollande made an extraordinary appearance at a summit of Commonwealth leaders – an organization of former British colonies and protectorates – to boost the fortunes of the COP21 climate negotiations that get underway this weekend in Paris.

Finally, while in Paris, the Prime Minister will attend the Leaders’ Event of the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 21) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

In London on Wednesday, Trudeau said last week’s deadly gun-and-bomb attacks in Paris, claimed by the Islamic State group, had changed “the perception that Canadians had”.

The twists and turns of that summitry navigation were evident in their brief encounter with the news cameras over breakfast.

The Malta Independent newspaper published an online story about a bilateral meeting between the Maltese and Canadian prime ministers late Thursday, but the name of Canada’s PM in the article was news on its own.

“I think those will be achieved through a number of different mechanisms”.

“We would hope Alberta and Canada would be recognized for all the work they have done in this space”, said Klassen. A state memorial service will be held for Bhullar on Sunday, November 29, 2015.

“Rooting out corruption is crucial to global prosperity and security”. He will be joined by the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, Catherine McKenna, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Stephane Dion.

He told Turnbull that “both of our countries – both energy exporters and strong on natural resources – are going to be showing strong leadership on the world stage in a way that demonstrates that you can’t separate what’s good for the economy from what’s good for the environment anymore”.

In fact, the adviser said not a single world leader has questioned Canada’s pending withdrawal from the air war during the last two weeks of intense global summitry.
