Reply #7: Charest under pressure over Kyoto

[CHIMO]

MONTREAL — Quebec Premier Jean Charest is under pressure to end the honeymoon with Prime Minister Stephen Harper because of the federal government's position on the Kyoto protocol.

Parti Quebecois Leader Andre Boisclair said Monday that Charest should show some leadership by preparing a plan for Quebec to meet the conditions of the agreement seemingly being abandoned by the federal government.

"I hope that Mr. Charest will take a clear stand and will take his distance from the Harper government," Boisclair told reporters.

"The best way for Mr. Charest to do so is to decide — for Quebec, on behalf of Quebecers — to start to implement the Kyoto Protocol."
