Environment Canada Report Pans Harper Government's Climate Plan

A new Environment Canada report โ€œdiscreetlyโ€ posted on the Department website shows that the Canadian government’s climate change plan will reduce greenhouse gas by a fraction of what was originallyย promised.

According to an article by Mike de Souza at Canwest Newsย Service:

The plan shows that many existing climate change measures such as the transit tax credit, regulations to increase biofuels production and the banning of incandescent light bulbs will result in a fraction of the greenhouse gas emission reductions that they were previously estimated toย achieve.โ€

The link to the report is down right now, but we will post more details when its back up. Here’s the url: http://www.ec.gc.ca/default.asp?langEn&nC07483BF-1

This story should be a headline across the country, given that polls consistently show climate change and the environment to be the number one priority forย Canadians.

Where’s the outrage at the false promises made by the government? Or it this just going to be filed away in the โ€œwe can’t trust politiciansโ€ย file?

In response to the report, Environment Minister John Baird slipped the question and told the reporter that he could โ€œget an official to go over the details withย you.โ€

Pretty scary when the Minister in charge of the policy most important to Canadians doesn’t know theย details.

Scary times, just made scarier by a government that has spent more time producing hot air than any action on the most important issue in theย country.
