OTTAWA – The Liberal government today rejected an NDP amendment to the motion on ratification of the Paris Agreement that would have included working with Indigenous governments in developing concrete plans to fight climate change.
“The Liberal government was elected on the promise that they would do things differently,� said NDP Leader Tom Mulcair. “Liberals very clearly promised a new era and a nation-to-nation relationship with Indigenous peoples but instead, today, they stood in the House and rejected our efforts to include Indigenous governments in the plan to fight climate change.�
