Furor Over Canada's Kyoto Legislation

"At issue are a series of changes contained in budget legislation that remove all references to the word 'toxic' from the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. That would broaden the substances that could be regulated under that law to include carbon dioxide. The [environmental] groups found themselves in unlikely agreement with the oil industry, which also criticized the government's approach yesterday, saying it cuts short the debate on Kyoto implementation."
