The premiers of Quebec and Ontario are meeting with the governors of eight US states today as part of a three-day conference on the future of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence region. The goal of the conference is for the leaders to work together on environmental protection and encouraging economic growth. Speaking this morning, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne suggested a regional partnership to fight climate change, and invited the eight states to join Ontario, Quebec and California in a carbon market. (Michigan Governor Rick Snydor called for more aggressive action on fighting invasive species such as the Asian carp.)
