A strong climate law – Answers to your questions about Bill C-12: On Nov. 12, people across Canada joined my colleague Tony Maas (Ecojustice’s director of legislative affairs) and I for a special Q+A climate law Q+A session with scholar and climate activist Dr. Anne Keary. As it turns out, the timing of this conversation couldn’t have been any better: One week later the federal government tabled the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act (Bill C-12).

We were pleased by this development. Climate activists, members of the public and environmental organizations like Ecojustice have worked tirelessly to push the federal government to introduce a climate law that holds decision-makers accountable for reducing emissions and putting Canada on the path to net-zero by 2050.
