COPENHAGEN, Denmark - Gordon Brown, Nicolas Sarkozy, Angela Merkel, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad -- and Jim Prentice?
While other world leaders have taken to the podium this week to address delegates at the Copenhagen climate talks, Prime Minister Stephen Harper is sending his environment minister in his place.
Prentice is scheduled to give a short speech tonight outlining Canada's stance on climate change to representatives from nearly 200 countries.
Harper has other plans -- he will join other leaders at a dinner hosted by the Queen of Denmark.
Prentice says Harper asked him to deliver the address and he was happy to oblige.
The environment minister has been in Copenhagen for the last week working with Canada's negotiating team.
