I am asked to bring to a close a conference that I did not attend, which is always a little frustrating; I am sure it has been a success and that I would have learned a lot. I look forward to reading the report my spies will prepare. The conference and this evening's reception are among many activities that celebrate our 40th anniversary: it was 40 years ago that Europe opened a diplomatic mission in Ottawa-the third of its kind after Washington and Tokyo. Since then, Canada has had only to congratulate itself for its partnership with its European friends. The same is certainly true for many other countries around the world.

Ladies and gentlemen, to speak in front of you about climate change as a risk amplifier for security is quite a challenge. After all, you are among the best experts that the United States and Canada have produced on this crucial issue. So I will not pretend to teach you anything; my objective is rather to reassure you that as a minister, I am fully seized with how critical the topic of this conference is for humankind.
