Catherine McKenna leaving politics, but staying in climate fight

Infrastructure Minister Catherine McKenna will not be seeking re-election, but pledges to keep fighting against climate change as a private citizen. File photo by Andrew Meade Listen to article After six years of pushing for climate action at the federal level, Infrastructure Minister Catherine McKenna will be focusing her future efforts not on running for re-election, but on helping to tackle climate change as a citizen. McKenna announced Monday that her decision to step back was motivated not by the sexist attacks she has received during her time in office, but by a desire to spend time with her children and continue the fight against climate change.

Canada s plan to reduce emissions is lacking, watchdog says

Canada still has a lot of work to do before it can exceed its targets to reduce emissions by 40 to 45 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised in April, said Canada’s budget watchdog on Wednesday. The report from the parliamentary budget officer (PBO) says increasing the carbon price to $170 per tonne of greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions, and tightening the rules for Canada’s largest industrial emitters, would reduce GHGs by nearly 100 megatonnes from 674 to 578 megatonnes by 2030. Additional “non-price”-related measures that have already been announced such as retrofitting buildings, planting trees, and changing how land is used should be good enough to reduce emissions to 468 megatonnes, which is below the target in the Paris Agreement of 511 megatonnes of GHG emissions by 2030.
