OPEN LETTER: Our Letter to ENVI Regarding Bill Bill C-12

Executive Summary
CCL Canada recommends that Bill C-12 be amended to maximize its potential to develop and sustain political will for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction through a legislated process to identify and tackle challenges that arise — through independent oversight, transparent monitoring and reporting, and regular opportunities for course correction.

CCL Canada believes that this goal of political durability can be achieved by having Bill C-12 generate meaningful climate action debate (in Parliament and among the public) through amendments to the Bill which will
• enhance the public’s confidence in the Advisory Body proposed in s. 20 of Bill C-12,
• enhance the involvement of the Advisory Body in setting GHG emissions reduction targets and plans to achieve these targets, and
• require annual reporting on progress in achieving these targets.
