Canada to spend $100 million helping smallest nations cope
QUEBEC - Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced Sunday that Canada would spend $100 million to help developing countries adapt to climate change issues.

The funds would be destined particularly to "small, insular and vulnerable states," Harper told the closing news conference of the Francophonie summit.

"Countries like Canada understand that least-developed countries do not have the same resources as developed countries to manage climate change and adaptation," Harper said.
