Petition for the Passing of Bill C-311
Sign Now
To: All Members of Canada's Federal Parliament
We, the undersigned, demand that you pass Bill C-311, the Climate Change Accountability Act, immediately upon returning to Parliament. The key elements of this Act are:
Ш It is an Act to ensure Canada assumes its responsibilities in preventing dangerous climate change and contributes fully to the stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.
Ш It recognizes that climate change poses a serious threat to the economic well-being, public health, natural resources and environment of Canada
Ш The Act makes a COMMITMENT to reduce greenhouse gas emissions:
Ш A long-term target of 80\% below the 1990 level by the year 2050.
Ш A medium-term target of 25\% below the 1990 level by the year 2020.
Ш Ensures that Canadas positions in all international climate change discussions and in all negotiations with governments and other entities are fully consistent with meeting the commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Ш Every person who contravenes a regulation made under this Act is guilty of an offence punishable by indictment or on summary conviction, as prescribed by the regulations, and liable to a fine or to imprisonment as prescribed by the regulations.
Recognizing that climate change poses an immense and potentially devastating threat to the lives of all people alive now and future generations, is easily preventable through concerted action to reduce emissions, and demands an urgency which we can no longer ignore, we, the undersigned, call for action from our government immediately.

This is no longer a question of "is this the right structure for this legislation? the right time?" - this is now a question of preserving a future for every person on this planet. Forget about politics for once, and do what is right.
