Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson says he plans to move quickly
this fall to set legislated targets to cut Canada’s greenhouse gas
emissions that go even further than what has already been promised.

Wilkinson told The Canadian Press in an interview this week that
COVID-19 is a priority but that Canada cannot take its eye off the ball
when it comes to climate change.
“While COVID is certainly a threat to the health and safety of
Canadians and to our economic recovery, the crisis that is climate
change, if left unaddressed, will have impacts that are even more
significant than COVID-19,” he said.
