MONTREAL, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Canada's environment minister says the country was asked to host next week's global environmental conference because of its reputation as an honest broker.
"Canada is perceived as a good bridger, a good citizen of the world, able to help countries to be closer to each other, not necessarily to come to a full reconciliation of views . . . but at least to be less divided than is the case now," Stephane Dion told the Toronto Globe and Mail.
About 10,000 people, including government officials, scientists and environmental activists, are expected to descend on Montreal for the first major global environmental conference since Kyoto.
Elizabeth May of the Sierra Club suggested that Montreal was also picked for the conference because it is next door to the United States, the world's largest consumer of oil and gas and emitter of greenhouse gases.
