Talk about good governance, ensuring energy, water and food security

Years from now, Quebec’s Minister of International Relations Jean-Francois Lisee would like to tell his children: “We did everything we could. We tried to lead by example and if anyone should be blamed it should be someone else.” Speaking at the 13th Delhi Sustainable Development Summit on Thursday, Mr. Lisee was referring to the efforts made by the province of Quebec to hold on to its status of a ‘green province’ – which has so far checked the emission standards of cars, launched a carbon trading system and in future hopes to electrify its transport system.
