House of Commons Motion: Green New Deal for Canada – The Energy Mix
While this sounds good, most of the other countries feel Canada is a laggard when it comes to stepping up to the plate to do our part for global warming.
The first motion filed in the reconstituted House of Commons calls for MPs to endorse a Green New Deal for Canada.
Motion M-1, introduced December 5 by MP Peter Julian (NDP, New Westminster-Burnaby) lays out a 10-year mobilization to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, create millions of secure jobs, invest in sustainable infrastructure and industry, and promote justice and equity for Indigenous peoples and all “front-line and vulnerable communities”.
