Ottawa (June 19th, 2019): Cathy McLeod, Member of Parliament for Kamloops - Thompson - Cariboo, encourages all
constituents to read A Real Plan to Protect Our
Environment, which was presented today by Conservative Leader
Andrew Scheer.
A Real Plan to Protect Our Environment is a balanced approach to reduce
our emissions at home, conserve and protect our air, land, water and wildlife,
and fight climate change abroad. It’s built on three key principles:
·
Green technology, not taxes: Investing
in green technology is the best way to lower our emissions without imposing new
taxes on Canadians.
·
A cleaner and greener natural
environment: We will work with farmers, hunters and
anglers, Indigenous peoples, provinces, and territories to protect our air,
land, water and wildlife.
·
Taking the climate change fight global:
The current international approach to climate change forces countries to
self-impose domestic emissions reductions targets. But emissions do not
recognize borders. It’s a global problem that requires a global solution and
Canada has a leadership role to play.
Said McLeod, “Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s so-called
environmental policy is not an emissions plan, it’s a revenue plan. In fact,
Canadian families and small businesses will pay 92% of Trudeau’s Carbon Tax,
while big polluters are only on the hook for 8%.”
It’s no wonder then, that Canada will miss its emissions reductions
targets under the Paris Agreement.
“I’m proud of our Conservative plan because it will put Canada where
we need to be,” said MP McLeod.
“It will balance the need to fight climate change by lowering global
emissions with our core promise of leaving more money in Canadians’ pockets and
helping them get ahead.”
