At an Ottawa conference last week, the president of the Center for American Progress, John Podesta, a co-chairman of President Obama’s transition team, reprimanded Canada for not keeping pace with the drive to adopt green energy technology.
The American ambassador to Canada, David Jacobson, declined to comment on whether Mr. Podesta’s remarks reflect the administration’s view.
Sujata Raisinghani, a spokeswoman for the Canadian Environment Ministry, said in an e-mail message that Canada’s intention is to develop a North American cap-and-trade system and “harmonize” the two countries’ climate-change policies.
