Justice Jasvinder Basran finds the environment and climate change minister has 'reasonably complied' with the Climate Change Accountability Act.
In dismissing the lawsuit filed by the Sierra Club of British Columbia, Justice Jasvinder Basran finds the environment and climate change minister has "reasonably complied" with the Climate Change Accountability Act.
Basran agrees the case represents "an appropriate legal question" because wording of the act indicates the legislature "intended for these reporting obligations to be enforceable by the courts," but he says it's up to the Sierra Club to show the 2021 report had "fundamental flaws." He disagrees with the Sierra Club that detailed explanations are needed about B.C.'s "plans to continue progress toward achieving" emissions targets, and rules the environmental group wants more thorough reporting than the act requires.
