Senate Environment Committee raises concerns over federal climate policy in letters to minister

Summary

The Senate Environment Committee has sent three letters to Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin expressing 'significant concerns' about the federal government's climate policy. The committee is urging improvements on emissions targets, increased funding for an endangered species group, and fixes to 'shortcomings' in the government's draft sustainable development strategy. ISG Senator Mary Coyle, chair of the Energy, the Environment, and Natural Resources Committee, noted that with no government caucus remaining in the Red Chamber, the Senate is taking a more active oversight role.
