Speech: Bill C-12 (Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act) - Second Reading
On June 28, 2021, the Honourable Rosa Galvez gave a speech as the Sponsor in the Senate at Second Reading of Bill C-12, the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act. This is a historic moment for Canada. For the first time, Canada could equip itself with a climate accountability legislation that would provide a legislated framework to guide our efforts to achieve net-zero emissions, a goal that is crucial if we are to keep global temperatures below 1.5 degrees Celsius.
