Politician-power in Canada
Meanwhile, the lower house of the Canadian Parliament has passed a bill which forces the Conservative Government to produce, within 60 days, a plan for compliance with Kyoto Protocol emissions targets. The Canadian Government, like their ideological soul-mates in Australia and the USA, has been hostile to the Kyoto Treaty.
“The Conservative government said yesterday it would produce a plan to comply with Kyoto if forced to, a dramatic shift from the previous day when it dismissed legislation passed by opposition MPs that would require Canada to meet the protocol’s targets for reducing greenhouse gases.
The legislation, introduced by a Liberal MP, calls on the government to present a plan to Parliament within 60 days outlining how Canada will meet its Kyoto targets. It must still be approved by the Liberal-dominated Senate.”
