For those of you keeping a close watch on the Copenhagen Conference, here’s some information you’ll be interested in! I’m so excited that Caroline Lee, a student from East Vancouver, is part of a youth delegation attending the Copenhagen Conference on climate change.
For a fascinating insight in to what’s happening on the ground in Copenhagen, check out the BLOGS from Caroline and the rest of her delegation here http://www.cbc.ca/news/citizenbytes/.
You can also have a look at their website here www.cydcopenhagen.org.
In other climate change news, the NDP Climate Change Accountability Act, Bill C-311 is now one step closer to becoming law after it was returned to the House of Commons by the Environment committee. Have a look at the press release we’ve issued about this http://www.ndp.ca/press/new-democrat-climate-change-bill-passes-committee . The implementation of this Bill would mean that across Canada, we will be doing our part to tackle climate change with clear, science-based emissions targets.

3rd reading
Do you know if the third reading on C-311 will happen before or after the Christmas break?
3rd reading
Thanks for the question - sorry for the delayed reply. As you now know, C-311 will go through 3rd reading when the House comes back at the end of January. The bill has to work its way up through the list of bills to go through two hours of debate before a final vote - we'll do our best to move it through quickly!
