As the Government continues to protect and support Canadians through the pandemic, we must also lay the foundation for a better future, with cleaner air and healthier communities. Recently, Minister Wilkinson, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, tabled legislation to hold the federal government to its commitment of achieving Net-Zero emissions by 2050. 

The Canadian Net Zero Emissions Act will not only hold our Government accountable but all future governments as well. This is another important step in protecting our environment and helping Canadian workers and business, and creating a greener, more prosperous future for our children and grandchildren. We must seize the economic opportunity that climate action presents and provide the world with the cleanest, most cutting-edge innovations - not just now, but for decades to come. Net-zero is not just a plan for a healthier environment; it's a plan to build a cleaner, more competitive economy.
