Sustainable Development and Canada at the G7 Summit
by Pierre Marc Johnson and John Kirton
Notes:
17 Several of such "Christmas Tree ornaments" did, however,
appear in other sections of the communiqué. During the
preparatory process, Canada had suggested that the heads endorse
a "codfree" zone off the nose and tail of the Grand
Banks in response to a French proposal, inspired by Danielle Mitterrand,
that the heads declare a "whalefree zone" around Antarctica.
Neither suggestion was accepted.
