Climate Change Accountability passes Canadian HoC. Again.

[Triumph Forks]

[release]OTTAWA — The Harper government was urged to fight climate change on both sides of the Atlantic Wednesday through separate votes in both the Canadian and European parliaments.

In the House of Commons, MPs adopted a new version of the climate change accountability legislation that had reached the Senate in 2008, but died on the order paper when Prime Minister Stephen Harper called an election in the fall of that year.

The new version of the legislation, introduced by NDP MP Bruce Hyer, once again calls on the government to introduce a climate-change plan with targets that are consistent with scientific evidence about the need to reduce emissions levels that are trapping heat in the atmosphere and causing dangerous changes to climate.

While the Conservatives voted against the legislation, members from the Liberal Party and the Bloc Quebecois joined the NDP to adopt the bill and — by a 149-136 vote — sent it to the Senate for review.
