More climate measures coming this fall before Trudeau meets premiers: McKenna
OTTAWA — The Liberal government’s carbon levy won’t be the only climate policy move announced this fall, says the federal environment minister.
Catherine McKenna says more federal measures will be rolled out before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sits down with the premiers in Ottawa on Dec. 8 to hammer out a full pan-Canadian climate blueprint.
“The intention is to put some of our plans out through the fall in the lead-up to the first ministers’ meeting,” McKenna said Thursday following a speech to the Canadian Climate Forum conference.
“Whether it’s through creating incentives for Canadians to have more energy-efficient homes or on the electric vehicle side, I think there’s some real opportunities to not only tackle climate change but to grow our economy. So you have to stay tuned.”
