| Montreal, 31/08/1998 – Following the Fifth Regular Session of the Council of the Commission
for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) in June in Mérida, Yucatán, a report was prepared
following the public workshop on the Priorities for North American Cooperation for
1999-2001.
The purpose of the workshop, chaired by Ms. Mary Simon, Chair of the
Joint Public Advisory Committee (JPAC), was to provide the attending public with an
overview of the five main program areas of the CEC and the associated activities for 1998.
The objective was also to engage the public in a dialogue to provide its views and
perspectives on the priorities of the three-year program plan recently committed to by the
Council.
The results of this workshop are summarized in the report, which also
lists recommendations that have been presented to Council. |
