OTTAWA Nike Odyssey React UK , Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- Canadian Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna Thursday announced the creation of the NAFTA Advisory Council on the Environment.


The ten-member council constitutes of prominent Canadians from politics, law, and Indigenous groups. Its job is to focus on strengthening environmental protections in a modernized NAFTA.


The minister said Canadians understand that the economy and the environment go hand in hand. Clean air and clean water know no boundaries, and they are top priorities for Canadians, Americans, and Mexicans.


"Modernizing NAFTA to strengthen environmental protections will make us more competitive Nike Epic React UK , not less. The leaders on Canada's NAFTA Advisory Council on the Environment will advise our government on how to protect the environment, grow our economy, and promote Canadian interests," she added.


Canada has long recognized that free and open trade and the protection of the environment go together.


When NAFTA came into effect in 1994, it was the first free-trade agreement to link the environment and trade through a historic side chapter on environmental cooperation between Canada, the U.S. Nike Air Maestro II UK , and Mexico.


In the more-than-three decades since, the close cooperation between these countries has led to positive environmental action across North America while their economies have grown and have become more integrated.


Canadians, Americans, and Mexicans understand that clean air, clean water, and healthy biodiversity are critical and that they are without borders. That is why it is important that we take this opportunity to modernize NAFTA and integrate strong environmental provisions into the agreement.


The market for clean-energy innovation is valued in the trillions of dollars. As the global economy moves towards cleaner growth Nike Air Footscape UK , a strong North American trading block with robust environmental protections will attract investment, create jobs, and grow our economies.


Most Canadian clean-technology firms export, and a large portion of their revenues of 4.4 billion Canadian dollars(one Canadian dollar is about 0.79U.S. dollars) comes from exports to the U.S. and Mexico. Canada is also a key market for U.S. clean-technology exports.

The family of a Chinese student presumed kidnapped in Illinois have asked US President Donald Trump to provide additional resources to help find her.


Zhang Yingying, a 26-year-old visiting scholar at the University of Illinois from southeast China, disappeared on June 9. Police believe Zhang is dead, although no body has been found.


Brendt Christensen, a former master’s student at the university, has been charged with her abduction. Christensen Nike Zoom VaporFly UK , 28, pleaded not guilty to kidnapping last month and is due to stand trial in September.


Zhang Yingying’s father, Zhang Ronggao, cited the US president’s own role as a father in a letter he sent to Trump earlier this month. It was read out by Zhang’s boyfriend Hou Xiaolin at a news conference on Tuesday.


“As a loving father to your own children, you can understand what we are going through,” the letter said. “We fervently request that you direct all available federal law enforcement and investigatory resources be used to find our daughter as soon as possible.”


Hou also told reporters at the news conference in Champaign Nike Hyperadapt 2.0 UK , Illinois, that he and the family would not be returning to China until Zhang is found.


An online fundraising platform has collected more than US$137,000 to support the family’s stay in the United States.


Hou expressed his frustration at the pace of the search. With the missing woman’s parents standing nearby during the news conference, Hou said her family and friends “feel helpless” because they don’t know when their ordeal will end.


“Yingying is a kind, optimistic, diligent and brave girl Nike Hyperadapt 1.0 UK ,” Hou said. “She would not give up on anything or anybody as long as there was a glimmer of hope. So we will never give up on her, either.”


Hou said investigators shared “good news” about the evidence they’ve collected, but no details and no breakthrough yet on where Zhang might be.


Hou said Zhang’s father walks to his daughter’s old apartment and stays there for hours.


“I never asked him why. But I think this is the only way he has now to cure his wound,” Hou said.


Zhang disappeared just weeks after arriving at the Urbana-Champaign campus in central Illinois where she was doing research in agricultural sciences. She was expected to begin work on her doctorate in the fall.


Christensen is accused of kidnapping Zhang in Urbana, 225 kilometers southwest of Chicago.


Investigators said Zhang was abducted after she left campus to sign an apartment lease. They believe Christensen lured her into his car.


Christensen, who earned a master’s degree in physics from the university this year Nike Hyperadapt White UK , was placed under surveillance by federal agents who heard him talking about how he had kidnapped Zhang, court records said. He faces a life sentence if convicted.


Christensen’s attorney Anthony Bruno told reporters the defense had received more than 1,000 pages of police reports related to the case and expected to gain access to video evidence soon.


Bruno said he plans to request a delay to the start of the trial to get additional time to review the “enormous” amount of evidence received from the gove
