House of Commons adopts Layton’s Kyoto Plus bill

Elected chamber is first in the world to adopt 80% pollution reduction target by 2050

OTTAWA – Today, with the passage of NDP Leader Jack Layton’s private member’s bill, The Climate Change Accountability Act (Bill C-377), Canada’s House of Commons has become the first elected chamber in the world to adopt science-based targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent, from 1990 levels, by 2050.

“This is a world first,” said Layton. “Our legislation sets tough but achievable targets that will ensure Canada does its share to avoid the dangerous two-degree increase in average global temperature that scientists warn us about.”

Answer 1

NDP, while socialist, is very out to lunch. Layton will do anything for a vote and this is a perfect example of it. It is Layton's "going against the grain" that kills his party every election. Being so far left and the Bob Rae days in the 80's have made him irrelevant.
