Critics slam Prentice's lack of leadership to fight climate change
The government says it's taking a leadership role on the climate change file, but opposition MPs and environmentalists say Environment Minister Jim Prentice and the federal Conservatives are doing everything they can to delay implementing much-needed regulations to fight catastrophic climate change.
Additional Excerpt:
Sierra Club executive director John Bennett said last week there is no indication from Mr. Prentice that he is unhappy with his government's direction in terms of fighting climate change, and if he weren't, he should resign and tell the public that "nothing's been done" on the climate change file. Mr. Bennett said the only thing Mr. Prentice has been successful at as Canada's Environment Minister is "doing an excellent job of pretending that the government is concerned about climate change."
