Thank you for your previous email outlining your concern for the

environment. I provide this email as an important update on our work to

protect the

environment and adequately address climate change.

 

On April 1st, Parliament will be voting on the NDP Climate Change

Accountability Act, Bill C-311. This legislation sets tough but achievable

targets

that will ensure Canada does its fair share to avoid the dangerous two-degree

increase in average global temperature that scientists maintain will happen if

action is not taken. Instead of dwelling on past missed opportunities, we

look to a sustainable future where Canada's economy is buoyed by practical

green

solutions. For more information please visit:

It is clear that Harper's Conservatives do not support meaningful action on

climate change. Therefore, we need your help to rally all opposition MPs to

vote for this important Bill. I am asking that you contact your own MP and

urge him/her to support C-311 so Canadian action on climate change can be

advanced. To obtain contact information, please visit:

Looking forward, you can count on Canada's New Democrats to continue working

against the false dichotomy that claims we can't stimulate the economy while

also protecting the environment. After all, a billion dollars invested in

Obama-style green infrastructure creates twice as many jobs as a billion spent

on Harper-style tax cuts-and injects $2-billion into the broader economy.

 

Thank you for your time and co-operation. Feel free to forward my email to

anyone interested in environmental protection. Also, I invite you to visit our

website at _www.ndp.ca_ (http://www.ndp.ca/) to learn more about the work

being done by our team of New Democrats.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Jack Layton, MP (Toronto-Danforth)

Leader, Canada's New Democrats

I am not sure what Climate Change has to do with alternative

medicine... and I am very concerned that this whole thing is a serious

scam that will lead us back into building nuclear reactors just like

Margaret Thatcher planned. One thing for certain, a nuclear reactor

meltdown is a serious health concern and we have had two in my

lifetime. I do not look forward to a third.
