FACT CHECK: Scheer will scrap Canada’s first and only serious climate change plan

October 7, 2019

Andrew Scheer does not even set any targets for greenhouse gas reductions — which is the point of the Paris Agreement.

Andrew Scheer would scrap Canada’s first and only national climate plan as his first act in office. He would make pollution free again and he boycotted climate marches across the country.

Conservative politicians throw their hands up and say there’s nothing we can do to fight climate change. They neglect our environment and pretending climate change isn’t real.

The climate crisis is real and we can’t waste anymore time – Conservative leaders have wasted enough time.

Progress under Justin Trudeau includes putting a price on pollution, protecting our oceans, phasing out coal, and banning single-use plastics. A re-elected Liberal government is committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and will make further investments in a clean tech economy that support long-term prosperity in Canada.
