OTTAWA - Environment Minister Peter Kent says he's heading to climate talks in South Africa this week in search of a new agreement.

But Kent refused to say whether that also means Canada is formally set to withdraw from the international Kyoto Accord on reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.

"I'm neither confirming nor denying," Kent told a news conference.

He insisted, however, that Canada will not make a second commitment to that accord.

"Kyoto is the past," said the Conservative minister, while agreements made at more recent climate summits in Copenhagen and Cancun are the future.

And he said talks in South Africa are aimed at moving forward the global effort to reduce climate change.

"If there is urgency to address climate change, this is not the time for the world's major emitters to sit on the sidelines," said Kent.

Kent made the remarks after announcing Canada is spending another $600 million to continue with what the Conservative government is calling a clean-air agenda.
