Greenpeace Canada reaction to the Fall Economic Statement

OTTAWA — In reaction to the Fall Economic Statement released today by Minister Chrystia Freeland, Keith Stewart Senior Energy Strategist at Greenpeace Canada, said:

“This is yet another promise to go big on climate change and inequality at a future date, but we’ve had decades of down payments without ever sealing the deal. We can fight the pandemic in a way that lays the groundwork for a greener, more equitable and inclusive future but this economic update doesn’t do that, so we will have to keep the pressure on for the coming climate plan and the 2021 budget to finally deliver on those promises. ”

ENDS
