FREQUENT FLYER: Canada’s climate ambassador defends air travel despite massive carbon footprint

Catherine Stewart, Canada’s Ambassador for Climate Change, defended her frequent air travel during testimony at the Commons environment committee, citing efficiency and international obligations.

Blacklock’s Reporter says Stewart, who billed $254,089 in travel expenses during her first two years on the job, said flying often “makes more sense” than using alternatives like trains or videoconferencing.
