Canada’s new environment minister and Environment and Climate Change officials confirmed that the federal government is standing by the national climate targets previously set under Justin Trudeau.
On several occasions, Environment and Climate Change Minister Julie Dabrusin was asked about whether the current Liberal government was still committed to working toward the near-term targets set under the previous prime minister, particularly the 2035 emissions target.
Canada has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by a minimum of 45 per cent below 2005 by that timeline.
