The federal government’s plan to fight global warming was under fire at the Green Living Show in Toronto on Saturday.
Among the critics were leaders of the federal Liberal Party, the Green Party and the NDP.
NDP Leader Jack Layton didn’t hold back in criticizing Ottawa’s new environmental plan.
“Al Gore called it a fraud. David Suzuki called it a disappointment. I’m calling all the opposition parties to bring the new climate change legislation that we’ve written in the special committee back to the House of Commons for a vote. Let’s get the right thing done,” he said.
Meanwhile, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May also had a lot to say about the Tory plan, “We stand ashamed before the world. Canada is the only nation out of 169 nations that have signed and ratified Kyoto,” she said.
“We stand alone as the only nation that has an official government policy that says we have no intention of trying to reach out targets. We’ve put the government’s seal of approval on rising emissions through the entire Kyoto period.”
