Guilbeault: Canada will not agree to phaseout of fossil fuels in COP27 agreement … because the provinces will sue our butts off

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says Canada will not agree to include language calling for the phaseout of all fossil fuels in the final agreement at this year’s United Nations climate talks in Egypt.
