It’s sad news to hear what you have to say though.

Jack also presented a private members bill Bill C377 which was approved in the Commons which became the first legislature in the world to adopt science-based targets to reduce greenhouse gases by adopting Jack Layton’s Climate Change Accountability Act. The bill will make Canada the first country in the world committed to an 80% reduction in its greenhouse gases below 1990 levels by 2050, with interim targets at five year intervals. Harper has already made it clear that his government plans to ignore this legislation.
