Dear Paov, In the coming weeks, Parliament will be debating Bill C-12, the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act.
This is the first time that Canada's federal government has introduced legislation to hold itself and future governments accountable for reducing emissions – and now we need your help to ensure that this new climate law is as strong as it can be.
Bill C-12 is a critical opportunity to make sure that Canada never misses another climate target. But the bill requires amendments in order to truly deliver bold climate action and build a safer, healthier future for all Canadians.
Scientists around the world have issued a clear and stark warning – we have less than a decade to prevent climate disaster. We need to improve Bill C-12 to make sure it does enough to reduce Canada’s emissions over the next critical nine years.
Please send a letter to your MP and key federal Cabinet Ministers today, urging them to support amendments that will improve Bill C-12 and deliver a robust Canadian climate accountability law. Take action now Let’s make Bill C-12 into a Canadian climate law that we can be proud of!
Sincerely,
Andrew Gage & Anna Johnston
