In December 2005, at the Kyoto negotiation in Montreal w/Canada as the host, Stephane Dion joined Europe to defeat an amendment by the Saudis to actually make Kyoto binding (it isn't, admitting in the one-paragraph long Article 18 that it can *be made binding* by amendment...which Saudi proposed and Dion the conference's chair and pompous Europe blocked it).
Drop the sanctimony, Stephane, secret's out, you actually went so far as to make sure your gov't couldn't be held to its rhetoric.
