Summary
Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin defended the Canadian government's climate record before the House Environment Committee, stating that Canada is 'progressing' on meeting its climate targets. This came in response to criticism from Bloc Québécois MP Patrick Bonin, who accused the government of 'the worst climate backsliding' in Canadian history and noted that the former environment minister has contradicted the current government's claims. The exchange highlights ongoing political tensions over Canada's climate policy and whether the government is doing enough to meet its emissions reduction commitments.
