The federal government is encouraging Canadian businesses to participate in a World Economic Forum (WEF) initiative that will use their buying power to drive decarbonization across seven industries globally, record shows.
Endorsement of the First Movers Coalition (FMC), which the federal Liberals joined as government partner in January, is contained in a document tabled in Parliament on Dec. 11 in response to questions posed by Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis in October.
Ms. Lewis asked what obligations and actions Ottawa has undertaken to fulfill its commitments as a partner of the FMC.
