NDP says Liberals have left their watered-down emissions cap to the 11th hour, all to cave to rich CEOs « Canada’s NDP

November 4, 2024 at 7:00 am  Federal, Politics

NDP Environment and Climate Change critic Laurel Collins made the following statement in reaction to the Liberal’s watered-down emission cap plan:

“Canadians are living with the consequences of the climate crisis. They want to see the government taking real action.

But for close to a decade, the Liberals have caved to rich oil and gas CEOs on climate measures, and this emissions cap is no different. The Liberals have delayed this cap until the 11th hour and are giving Canada’s biggest polluters room to keep polluting with no limits. The timing and the math don’t make sense.

There is no more leeway to keep pushing off measures to fight the climate crisis. New Democrats are calling on the government to close the loopholes in their emissions plan and to stop caving to the CEOs who are driving the climate crisis.”
