Bill C-311, An Act to ensure Canada assumes its responsibilities in preventing dangerous climate change

Presentation to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development

Full text of the presentation by Matthew Bramley to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development, October 29, 2009 concerning Bill C-311, the federal Climate Change Accountability Act.

"Bill C-311 makes no pretension to be a comprehensive plan to cut emissions. Instead, it would set a level of ambition for emission reductions, and enforce accountability mechanisms to increase the likelihood that the government of the day would fulfil its responsibility to develop and implement a plan to achieve those reductions."
