This interview resulted from a workshop that explored public attitudes toward environmental issues and policies with a focus on the similarities and differences between Canada and Europe. The conference took place at Carleton University on Feb 8, 2013. The event was supported by the Canada-Europe Transatlantic Dialogue.

The interviewees were in conversation with Anca Gurzu, and the video slideshow was prepared by Caitlin Keaney, both of Carleton University.
