Scheer called for action on China’s canola ban, while Morneau and McKenna celebrated the anniversary of Scheer’s pledge to come up with a climate change plan
Jagmeet Singh has arrived at the party, only to find the cool kids have left and the champagne has been left standing overnight.
The news is a massive relief for the Liberals, in the aftermath of General Motors decision to close its Oshawa plant and will be hailed as evidence that the government’s competitiveness and innovation policies are working. Events in the chamber were a sideshow to duelling press conferences, as Scheer called for action on China’s ban on Canadian canola, while two of Trudeau’s most senior ministers celebrated the one year anniversary of the Conservative leader’s pledge to come up with a climate change plan.
They’d rather talk about the Conservative climate plan – or lack of it. Environment minister Catherine McKenna and finance minister Bill Morneau were wheeled out to muddy Scheer’s message by raising the meeting between the Conservative leader and oil executives in a “day long election strategy” session. McKenna linked the need for a climate change plan to floods in New Brunswick, Ontario and Quebec. “We now know Mr. Scheer is developing a plan with oil lobbyists.
For now, there is no Conservative plan and it will be hard for Scheer to convince Canadians he has a real plan that reduces emissions but doesn’t cost Canadians anything.
