Steven Guilbeault: New Federal Climate Plan to be Release on March

According to Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, a new federal climate proposal won’t be up until the end of March. Net-zero accountability legislation passed in June mandates government disclosure of a 2030 carbon emissions reduction strategy.  

But a clause that slows the plan’s publication by three months will be used by the government, according to Guilbeault. The plan will now be publicly released no later than March 29, 2022, according to the revised schedule.

Indigenous people, provinces and other stakeholders need to have a say in the plan, says Guilbeault, such a delay is required.

“The debate over whether we need to act is long over,” he said. “Now we must determine how we can get where we need to go, together.”

A few of the initiatives that the environment minister has launched fro the government’s environmental platform includes:

• Net-zero emissions cars
• Cap on oil and gas emissions
• Reduction in methane emissions
• Net-zero emission electricity grid
