CCL Canada’s Parliamentary e-petition for carbon fee and dividend (#e297) that Dr. James Hanson and Dr. Katharine Hayhoe both promoted in May will be closed for signatures on September 8, 2016, at 8:23 a.m. (EDT). #E297 garnered over 500 signatures within the first three days after we officially launched it in May and currently has 842 signatures – up 51 signatures from last week. MP Nathanial Erskine-Smith (Beaches-East York) will present the petition in the House of Commons this fall. Since the e-petition was launched, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, backed up by the Canada’s Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition, announced that Canada will have a national price on carbon by the end of the year. Any new signatures will keep building political will across Canada and will increase the likelihood of a strong and predictable national price on carbon pollution in Canada. If you are a Canadian citizen, please sign e-petition #e297.
