Earlier Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke from there, and called for global action in the fight against climate change and a formal commitment to a cap on emissions produced by Canada's oil and gas sector.
Such a cap had been promised in the Liberals' recent election platform, with plans to force emissions down until they hit net zero in 2050. A lack of regulations for the sector has long been a sore spot between environmental groups and Ottawa.
"We'll cap oil and gas sector emissions today and ensure they decrease tomorrow at a pace and scale needed to reach net zero by 2050," Trudeau told the leaders.
