3	Adam van Koeverden	Liberal Party of Canada	Milton	Yes		Yes		Yes				Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	I left two spots blank, a "complete" divestment and "1million" jobs... because they are very specific, and I haven't done enough research myself to know if they are achievable, or adequate. I support evidence based decision making, and experts. I support research and investigation. As a non-expert myself, I would tend to differ to people who have made it their life's work to identify the best strategies to deal with the greatest threat our species has ever faced. Thank you.	Yes		Yes		Yes
4	Aisha Jahangir	New Democratic Party	Guelph	Yes	As one of the most privileged countries on the planet, Canada must meet emissions targets well before the IPCC recommendations. We can and must do better.	Yes		Yes	The accountability framework should have as much public input, transparency, and control as possible.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.		Yes		Yes		Yes
5	Alessandra Szilagyi	Green Party of Canada	Saint-Leonard--Saint-Michel	Yes		Yes		Yes	As things like the carbon tax have been criticized by Canadians in other provinces, I think it's important to first understand the complaints and concerns that the population has/may have, and then inform and educate them on why something like a carbon budget is important.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	One thing that we definitely should avoid is unemployment and laying-off people during this transition. Again, we need to inform and educate people as to why these transitions are important, and I think we also need to give them as many step-by-steps of how this transition goes as we can, because people fear uncertainty. Some people are hesitant about these transitions because as a country, we've gotten used to the fossil fuel industry and the income it brings to people, but we need to ensure them that these transitions are very long-term, and long-lasting as well -- for our planet's sake but also for our health.	Yes	This is long overdue, so yes supporting this 100%.	Yes		Yes	As one of the countries with the highest emissions in the world, and one of the biggest contributors to climate change, we must welcome climate migrants and refugees because our actions have affected them and their homes.
6	Amanda Cain	Green Party of Canada	Scarborough Southwest	Yes	Greens are committed to establishing an inner Cabinet, akin to the Second World War "War Cabinets" to ensure we take partisan politics out of the fight for our survival	Yes		Yes		A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.		Yes		Yes		Yes
7	Andrea Vásquez Jiménez	New Democratic Party	York Centre	Yes		Yes	The science is clear: we need to be cutting Canada's emissions roughly in half within 10 years. That's the way to limit warming to 1.5¬∞ and protect our planet. That means urgent action - we have to cut twice as fast as the Liberals, who are only on track to meet their inadequate targets 200 years late.	Yes	Canadians are tired of Conservative and Liberal governments that are missing targets after targets. The NDP will legislate its science-based target and like other countries, we will establish an independent Climate Accountability Office to do regular audits of progress towards our climate goals, with a budget to share information about the importance of climate action with Canadians. Our plan will use the powers of the federal government to ensure that the provinces set and meet interim emissions reduction targets in the lead up to 2030 and 2050.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	New Democrats believe that any climate change plan that leaves Canadian workers or regions behind is no plan at all. There are real solutions that invest in good jobs in all communities and rebuild local economies with meaningful, family-sustaining work in every part of the country, all while helping to make the changes we need to succeed in a low carbon future. An important part of our plan will include making sure that physical, digital and social infrastructure investments contribute to emissions reductions and benefit all regions and communities, especially those already experiencing the impacts of climate change, with the good, family-sustaining jobs they bring. We estimate that our plan will create at least 300,000 good jobs across the country in the next four years. A New Democrat government will work together with labour, employers, and the provinces and territories to find solutions for workers and communities in all impacted sectors, based on the recommendations of the Task Force on Just Transition for Canadian Coal Power Workers and Communities. New Democrats will put in place dedicated employment support combining access to expanded EI benefits, re-training and job placement services, paired with significant investments to create quality local jobs and support thriving communities. We will also vigorously defend pensions, so that workers can always count on the retirement security that they've earned, and make sure that workers who are close to the end of their careers have a bridge to a dignified retirement. Training for the future of work is also core to our approach, including expanded access to income supports, training and re-training for the new job market. New Democrats will set a national standard to ensure that Canadian employers continue to invest in training and employee development, and we'll work with the provinces to focus on training for sectors with the strongest job growth, in order to ensure that everyone has access to the skills and knowledge that will be in demand in a low-carbon future. New Democrats will also create a framework for enshrining Community Benefits Agreements in federally funded infrastructure projects, to make sure that public money is put to its best possible use creating local economic opportunities and building support from local communities for climate goals. This will go hand in hand with improving apprenticeship rates for skilled trades and putting supports in place so that women, racialized Canadians, Indigenous peoples, and other under-represented groups can more easily choose careers in the trades.	Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fully implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.	Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fully implement the the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action.	Yes		New Democrats will work with Indigenous peoples to co-develop a National Action Plan for Reconciliation, drawing directly from the Calls to Action and the Declaration to ensure that Canada's laws, policies, and practices are consistent with Canada's human rights commitments ‚Äì including cultural rights, land rights, and rights to self-determination and selfgovernment. Through legislation, we will establish a National Council for Reconciliation to provide oversight and accountability for this process, reporting regularly to Parliament and Canadians. New Democrats will make all new buildings in Canada net-zero ready by 2030, and complete energy efficiency retrofits on all existing housing stock in Canada by 2050. We will get more zero-emissions vehicles on the road, electrify our transit fleets by 2030, and work towards farefree transit with interested municipalities. And we will eliminate fossil fuel subsidies immediately and get Canada powered by net carbon-free electricity by 2030.. We'll also reform Export Development Canada's mandate to focus on providing support for Canadian sustainable energy projects, rather than the petroleum industry
8	Andy Fillmore	Liberal Party of Canada	Halifax	Yes	Since the time of my election I have been the Liberal Party representative on the all-party climate caucus.	Yes		No	I would need to review any such legislation before making a determination on this question, as the details matter.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.		Yes		Yes		Yes

10	Anna Keenan	Green Party of Canada	Malpeque	Yes	I've worked on climate change and the renewable energy revolution for 13 years, for organizations like Greenpeace International and currently 350.org. It's the issue that has gotten me into politics and I will work with anyone, from any party, who shares the goals of meeting the 1.5C emission targets.	Yes	60% below 2005 levels, to be on the safe side. We can do it and we must.	Yes		A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	During World War II, Canada created 28 Crown Corporations, to supply the goods and services required to launch a counter-offensive against the greatest threat of their generation. While I don't enjoy war analogies, climate change is our equivalent generational challenge, and a similar approach can be used today as it was then. Crown Corporations can be a vehicle for economic transformation.While neoliberal orthodoxy has stigmatized the role of government, preferring to 'leave everything to the market', we've seen that the crown corporations created in WWII served their purpose effectively. Many continued to provide value long after WWII was finished, and many have since been privatized and fully integrated into the Canadian marketplace.The same will happen with a suite of climate-justice-oriented Crown Corporations: forest restoration; renewable energy; water-purification on reserves; home retrofits and insulation; affordable passive-housing; carbon sequestration in farming, etc etc...	Yes	UNDRIP does not create new rights, it simply affirms that the fundamental, and universal, rights of any person - such as self-determination, equality, freedom from discrimination, and the right to culture - also apply to Indigenous Peoples. This is not unique to Canada. In particular, the right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent needs to become enshrined in Canadian law. Without implementation of these rights, we are retaining a colonial system. I believe that the vast majority of Canadians want to see true reconciliation happen, and this is a key step. We've already seen court cases between First Nations and Canadian governments send resource projects that have not had adequate consultation back to the drawing board; this is the new normal we should expect. 'Consultation' after approval decisions have already been made is not good enough.	Yes	The Truth and Reconciliation Commission was a significant step forward towards healing for First Nations people in Canada, but it is only a single step in that journey. The 94 recommendations lay out the next essential steps on that pathway for Canada and each one of them is going to take serious work and commitment from elected representatives, at various levels of government, as well as from universities and schools, and from the community as a whole. I'd love to do my part to move these steps forward. The recommendations on justice system reforms - working to eliminate the over-representation of Indigenous people in custody by addressing root causes, and to address criminal victimization of Indigenous people, particularly women and girls.	Yes	Yes - we have a moral obligation to do so.	I want to move beyond 'taxes and rebates' as climate policy. Those approaches tend to cause political division because they don't take social justice into account - they tax the poorest who find it hardest to transition, and they provide rebates to the wealthy few who can afford the up-front cost of things like electric cars and home efficiency retrofits.We can do better and we must - loan programs for climate investments; universal basic income; job guarantees for transitioning workers through Crown Corporations; simplifying the tax system and making it fairer so that the wealthy and polluters pay their fair share; these are all ways to ensure hat the climate movement has social justice at its heart.I first started raising awareness of climate change science in my local community in 2006. I've been working on building the global climate movement ever since. I'm running now because I believe we've built that movement, the public is on board, but politicians still aren't acting. So now it's time for me to become a politician.I think people are ready to accept significant changes in their consumption patterns - for example making significant reductions in international air travel - if we all move together in that direction. I'd be delighted to be part of leading that cultural and political transition.
11	Annie Ohana	New Democratic Party	Fleetwood Port Kells	Yes		Yes	The science could'nt be clearer, under the Liberals inaction it would take 200 years to reach the targets. We need to cut Canada's emissions in half within 10 years. That is how we limit warming to 1.5 degrees and protect our planet.	Yes	Canadians are tired of Conservative and Liberal governments that are missing targets after targets. The NDP will legislate its science-based target and like other countries, wewill establish an independent Climate Accountability Office to do regular audits of progresstowards our climate goals, with a budget to share information about the importance of climateaction with Canadians.

Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fullyimplement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.to not do so would go against the implementation of effective and long lasting Truth and Reconciliation.	Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fullyimplement the the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action.As an educator who has implememted the calls for changes to our education systrm, the hard work of the Commission and the incresibly painful recollections and sharing of survivors, makes implementation of the 94 calls that much more important. 12. Do you believe Canada has a leadership role to play in welcoming clim	Yes	A leadership role that includes being conscientious as a G7 nation of our role in the climate emergency. Both in creating the ceisis, but also in contributing to finding solutions that would benefit the world.	New Democrats will work with Indigenous peoples to co-develop a National ActionPlan for Reconciliation, drawing directly from the Calls to Action and the Declaration to ensurethat Canada's laws, policies, and practices are consistent with Canada's human rightscommitments ‚Äì including cultural rights, land rights, and rights to self-determination and self- government. Through legislation, we will establish a National Council for Reconciliation toprovide oversight and accountability for this process, reporting regularly to Parliament andCanadians.

And we will eliminate fossil fuel subsidies immediatelyand get Canada powered by net carbon-free electricity by 2030.. We'll also reform ExportDevelopment Canada's mandate to focus on providing support for Canadian sustainable energyprojects, rather than the petroleum industry
12	Anthony Edmonds	Green Party of Canada	Sackville-Preston-Chezzetcook	Yes	The time for petty partisanship has long since passed. We are facing an existential threat.	Yes		Yes	Acknowledging that the doctrine of parliamentary supremacy does not permit legislation to bind future parliaments, such a framework could represent a symbolic impediment to future attempts to walk back any climate action.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	The workers in oil and gas industries are not the enemies of a clean economy, and they deserve to participate in clean industries and reap the benefits of a green economy.	Yes		Yes		Yes	Canada also must act to prevent displacement of people through concerted climate action.
13	Anthony Li	Green Party of Canada	Lambton-Kent-Middlesex	Yes	The Greens will create an emergency climate cabinet (a "survival cabinet") to ensure leadership in the federal government. We believe in doing politics differently. We need to overcome the partisan divides that have held up climate action for decades. The Climate Emergency Cabinet's mandate would be to ensure that Canada does its part to limit global warming to a level civilization can survive, and mitigate the impacts of climate change on Canadians.	Yes	The target set by the Green Party of Canada is 60% reduction below 2005 levels by 2030, and net zero emissions by 2050. This target will meet Canada's nationally determined contribution (NDC) in the Paris Agreement, unlike the current target‚Äîwhich we are not even on track to meet.	Yes	We need to meet our climate targets, because there is no real alternative. A carbon budget would be a useful tool to ensure that Canada is on track and is putting climate change at the forefront of all policy.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	The Green Party has a plan that addresses the needs of workers through the massive changes coming for our economy. Transitioning to a sustainable economy will bring changes, but also a great opportunity for Canadian workers. Investments in renewable energy, public transit, and critical infrastructure will create new jobs, and training programs will help smooth the transition for fossil fuel workers into new industries.	Yes	The Green Party fully embraces all 46 articles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). A Green government will remove all obstacles within the judicial, legislative and executive branches of government to wholly implement UNDRIP. Greens will implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and reform all judicial, legislative, and executive branches of the federal government so that they are consistent with the Declaration.	Yes	Canada has a profound legal obligation to reconcile and provide restitution for the colonial relations ‚Äì marked by violent expropriation, displacement, and forced assimilation ‚Äì that have undermined the cultural, governance and economic foundations of the Indigenous Peoples of this land. The Green Party of Canada recognizes the ongoing leadership, resistance and resilience of Indigenous Peoples in the face of systemic oppression and inter-generational trauma. A Green government will support all Indigenous Peoples' efforts to emerge from the positions of disadvantage in which Canada has placed them. We believe that Canada cannot reach its full potential as a nation until the socio-economic gap between Indigenous Peoples and the rest of Canada is closed.	Yes	Greens will lead a national discussion to create a legal definition of "environmental refugee" and advocate for its inclusion as a refugee category in Canada. We will accept an appropriate share of the world's environmental refugees into Canada.
14	Austin Mullins	Green Party of Canada	Banff-Airdrie	Yes	The Green Party of Canada maintains the necessity for a non-partisan and cooperative approach in tackling the climate crisis. "Mission: Possible," our 20-step climate action plan, calls for the formation of an all-party "war" cabinet akin to that of the cabinet formed in WW2 to address the ongoing challenges of the nation in a time of significant social and economic change.	Yes	I personally support pursuing this goal, and would go so far as to advocate a 60% reduction of Canada's GHG emissions by 2030, and net zero emissions by 2050. This is line with the commitment of the Green Party of Canada's 20-step climate action plan "Mission: Possible."	Yes	I would absolutely support the development of a legislated accountability framework to hold Parliament accountable to meeting the IPCC's recommended targets for reducing Canada's GHG emissions.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.		Yes	It is imperative that the Parliament of Canada abides by UNDRIP in every decision it makes as a sovereign nation performing on Indigenous land.	Yes		Yes	It is crucial that Canada prepares itself for the influx of climate change refugees that will need assistance in the coming years. This is an important reason for our need to implement meaningful climate action in order to revert the climate crisis and lessen the number of people that will be displaced from their homes due to climate emergencies across the globe.
15	Benjamin Linnick	Green Party of Canada	Saint Boniface-Saint Vital	Yes	Collaboration is the only solution in our current situation. We must be willing to work together to accomplish the goals and targets set out in the IPCC report.	Yes	As the Green Party of Canada has laid out in it's Mission Possible plan we aim for a 60% GHG reduction from 2005 levels by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050.	Yes	As we are working with a very short time frame to make drastic changes I believe there does need to be accountability, however there does also need to be some room for understanding and taking into account any outside influences or natural disasters that could possibly affect the targets and projects being undertaken. Climate denial and climate delayers however should be held fully accountable to the damage they have done by stalling solutions and actions.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	All of these points are actionable and pragmatic based on what we currently possess in terms of resources, human capital and technology. I personally feel we need to push as hard as we can to move our collective society towards these goals to ensure climate action, a just transition for energy sector workers and all who are affected by the changes and taking care of our most vulnerable.	Yes	As a metis man and someone with many indigenous relations, my wife and daughter to start, UNDRIP is a bare minimum in my mind for Canada to start on the path towards reconciliation. It is imperative in my mind that we pay special attention to Article 26 which states: "Indigenous peoples have the right to own, use, develop and control the lands, territories and resources that they possess by reason of traditional ownership or other traditional occupation or use, as well as those which they have otherwise acquired.States shall give legal recognition and protection to these lands, territories and resources. Such recognition shall be conducted with due respect to the customs, traditions and land tenure systems of the indigenous peoples concerned." So many conflicts and injustices could have been avoided if that point was implemented as law.	Yes	Senator Murray Sinclair is an institution, and the calls to action should be mandatory reading for all Canadian citizens. True reconciliation means participation on the part of everyone who now occupies these lands. Which ties into call to action #62, to advance the collective knowledge of the past shared history involving treaties, residential schools and indigenous contributions to society, provide the necessary funding to ensure indigenous teaching methods and knowledge are implemented and dedicating positions for the creation of indigenous educational content.	Yes	As one of the worst per capita GHG emitters. Canada does have a leadership role to play in repairing the damage it has done and welcoming people who have been negatively affected by climate change.	Thank you for sending out the survey and putting focus on climate change, indigenous issues and how we are to move forward collectively.
16	Beverley Eert	Green Party of Canada	Portage-Lisgar	Yes	#2 from our Mission:PossibleEstablish an inner cabinet of all parties. Modelled on the war cabinets of Mackenzie King and Winston Churchill, parties will work together to ensure that climate is no longer treated like a political football. It requires all hands on deck.	Yes	#3 from Mission:Possible: Set stringent new targets.

17	Bonita Zarrillo	New Democratic Party	Port Moody - Coquitlam	Yes		Yes	The science is clear: we need to be cutting Canada's emissions roughly in half within 10 years. That's the way to limit warming to 1.5¬∞ and protect our planet. That means urgent action - we have to cut twice as fast as the Liberals, who are on track to meet their inadequate targets 200 years late.	Yes	Canadians are tired of Conservative and Liberal governments that miss target after target. The NDP will legislate its science-based target. And like other countries, we will establish an independent Climate Accountability Office to perform regular audits of progress towards our climate goals, with a budget to share information about the importance of climate action with Canadians. Our plan will use the powers of the federal government to ensure that the provinces set and meet interim emissions reduction targets in the lead up to 2030 and 2050.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	New Democrats believe that any climate change plan that leaves Canadian workers or regions behind is no plan at all. There are real solutions that invest in good jobs in all communities and rebuild local economies with meaningful, family-sustaining work in every part of the country, all while helping to make the changes we need to succeed in a low carbon future. An important part of our plan will include making sure that physical, digital and social infrastructure investments contribute to emissions reductions and benefit all regions and communities, especially those already experiencing the impacts of climate change, with the good, family-sustaining jobs they bring. We estimate that our plan will create at least 300,000 good jobs across the country in the next four years. A New Democrat government will work together with labour, employers, and the provinces and territories to find solutions for workers and communities in all impacted sectors, based on the recommendations of the Task Force on Just Transition for Canadian Coal Power Workers and Communities. New Democrats will put in place dedicated employment support combining access to expanded EI benefits, re-training and job placement services, paired with significant investments to create quality local jobs and support thriving communities. We will also vigorously defend pensions, so that workers can always count on the retirement security that they've earned, and make sure that workers who are close to the end of their careers have a bridge to a dignified retirement. Training for the future of work is also core to our approach. This includes expanded access to income supports, training and re-training for the new job market. New Democrats will set a national standard to ensure that Canadian employers continue to invest in training and employee development, and we'll work with the provinces to focus on training for sectors with the strongest job growth, in order to ensure that everyone has access to the skills and knowledge that will be in demand in a low-carbon future. New Democrats will also create a framework for enshrining Community Benefits Agreements in federally funded infrastructure projects. Do this will ensure that public money is put to its best possible use creating local economic opportunities and building support from local communities for climate goals. This will go hand in hand with improving apprenticeship rates for skilled trades and putting supports in place so that women, racialized Canadians, Indigenous peoples, and other under-represented groups can more easily choose careers in the trades.	Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fully implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.	Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fully implement the the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action.	Yes		New Democrats will work with Indigenous peoples to co-develop a National Action Plan for Reconciliation, drawing directly from the Calls to Action and the Declaration to ensure that Canada's laws, policies, and practices are consistent with Canada's human rights commitments ‚Äì including cultural rights, land rights, and rights to self-determination and self-government. Through legislation, we will establish a National Council for Reconciliation to provide oversight and accountability for this process, reporting regularly to Parliament and Canadians. New Democrats will make all new buildings in Canada net-zero ready by 2030, and complete energy efficiency retrofits on all existing housing stock in Canada by 2050. We will get more zero-emissions vehicles on the road, electrify our transit fleets by 2030, and work towards fare-free transit with interested municipalities. And we will eliminate fossil fuel subsidies immediately and get Canada powered by net carbon-free electricity by 2030. We'll also reform Export Development Canada's mandate to focus on providing support for Canadian sustainable energy projects, rather than the petroleum industry.

The stone age didn't end because we ran out of stones, it ended because we found something better--we are at that point in history again. It just doesn't make sense to continue on the path we are currently on. There is a huge business opportunity in a green economy and it is time we start investing in our future.	Yes	This is completely necessary for Canada to be able to say we are a socially just nation. We must start respecting our indigenous population and work alongside them towards reconciliation.	Yes		Yes	We also need to be encouraging international action to fight the climate crisis to reduce the number of migrants and refugees that are fleeing their homes.

25	Cass Romyn	Green Party of Canada	Sturgeon River-Parkland	Yes	100%, and the Green Party of Canada is currently encouraging such a caucus/committee.	Yes	At least! We should be more ambitious, as many scientists have suggested we don't even have 10 years...	Yes		A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	As the Green Party of Canada supports free tuition for post-secondary education, including trades, I would suggest we wouldn't even require a publicly funded retraining program geared towards these workers. Most of their current skills are easily transferable to the clean energy industry.As a candidate for the Green Party of Canada, our current plan for a Just Transition includes: - Investing in comprehensive retraining and apprenticeship programs to repurpose skills of industrial trades workers for jobs in the renewable energy sector, ensuring continued employment opportunities for Canada's skilled workers. - Initiating a massive cleanup of "orphaned" oil wells; depending on the geology many of those wells can be transformed to produce geothermal energy. *This would ignite the energy transition, especially within Alberta. - Instituting a country-wide building program that will retrofit all buildings to optimum energy efficiency. - Creating a transition framework that acknowledges and factors in, to the greatest extent possible, the unique resources and circumstances of each province. - Forming partnerships with Indigenous peoples to ramp up renewable energy development in First Nations communities and on Indigenous lands (keeping within the UNDRIP principles of self-determination and self-government). - Adopting all 10 recommendations of the Task Force on Just Transition for Canadian Coal	Yes	100%. Indigenous people throughout Canada have been mistreated and ignored by our government for too long. We need to improve relations, while decolonizing and working towards reconciliation.	Yes	I recognize the recommendations of the TRC to be very important steps towards reconciliation with Indigenous people in Canada. Our past has inflicted much harm to various Indigenous communities, and there is much the Canadian government needs to do to recover relations with the Indigenous communities throughout the nation.	Yes	Canada, being one of the largest countries in the world, should take a leadership role in welcoming climate refugees, while introducing measures to greatly reduce the amount of emissions we produce nationally.
26	Catriona Wright	Green Party of Canada	Calgary Rocky Ridge	Yes	Absolutely! Ensuring immediate and urgently needed climate action plus working together is my main reason for running in the election, plus its Green Party policy!	Yes	Actually the Green Party's plan goes further than this! The target set by the Green Party of Canada is 60% reduction below 2005 levels by 2030, and net zero emissions by 2050.This target will meet Canada's nationally determined contribution (NDC) in the Paris Agreement, unlike the current target‚Äîwhich we are not even on track to meet.	Yes	We need to meet our climate targets, because there is no real alternative.A carbon budget would be a useful tool to ensure that Canada is on track and is putting climate change at the forefront of all policy.

Yes to everything you have listed: The Green Party has a plan that addresses the needs of workers through the massive changes coming for our economy. Please see our press release on this point at www.greenparty.ca Transitioning to a sustainable economy will bring changes, but also a great opportunity for Canadian workers. Investments in renewable energy, public transit, and critical infrastructure will create new jobs, and training programs will help smooth the transition for fossil fuel workers into new industries.	Yes	The Green Party fully embraces all 46 articles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).A Green government will remove all obstacles within the judicial, legislative and executive branches of government to wholly implement UNDRIP. Greens will implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and reform all judicial, legislative, and executive branches of the federal government so that they are consistent with the Declaration.	Yes	Canada has a profound legal obligation to reconcile and provide restitution for the colonial relations ‚Äì marked by violent expropriation, displacement, and forced assimilation ‚Äì that have undermined the cultural, governance and economic foundations of the Indigenous Peoples of this land.The Green Party of Canada recognizes the ongoing leadership, resistance and resilience of Indigenous Peoples in the face of systemic oppression and inter-generational trauma.A Green government will support all Indigenous Peoples' efforts to emerge from the positions of disadvantage in which Canada has placed them. We believe that Canada cannot reach its full potential as a nation until the socio-economic gap between Indigenous Peoples and the rest of Canada is closed.	Yes	Greens will lead a national discussion to create a legal definition of "environmental refugee" and advocate for its inclusion as a refugee category in Canada We will accept an appropriate share of the world's environmental refugees into Canada	2019 is the most important election in our history and the best chance we have at working together to save our environment and end social injustices in Canada. I remain hopeful the public will understand this urgency and will vote accordingly.
27	Chris Tolley	Green Party of Canada	Toronto-Danforth	Yes	We need all of the country's top politicians to form an inner cabinet designed specifically to battle the climate emergency. This crisis can only be stoped through cooperation.	Yes	Our target is a 60% GHG reduction against 2005 levels by 2030.	Yes	I absolutely believe in this method to help reduce GHG emissions. In the world we live in today, we don't see the true cost of carbon emissions reflected in the price we pay for services and products. We need to implement a system that will capture all costs associated with production.

I support the Green Party's Mission: Possible proposal. It is a realistic plan of moving us away from a fossil fuel-based economy into a more efficient and stable clean energy economy. This is a tremendous opportunity to enrich job security and build a stronger economic future for all.	Yes	This is long overdue. We have much to be proud of as Canadians. Our record on indigenous rights is not one of them.	Yes		Yes	Canadians produce more greenhouse gas emissions per person than any other G20 economy. We have a responsibility to welcome climate change migrants as we have played a major role in displacing them.
28	Christina Gower	New Democratic Party	Coquitlam - Port Coquitlam	Yes	I would not only agree to join a working group committed to working on legislation to meet emissions targets, I would seek it out.	Yes	The NDP platform, Power to Change: A New Deal for Climate Action and Good Jobs , describes specific reductions from this first set of measures that we'll put into action right away, reducing Canada's greenhouse gas emissions to 450 Mt by 2030. This is an important first step, exceeding the Paris targets. I will personally be searching for ways to improve on this number along with my party. I have spent the past year collecting articles on innovative technologies from across the world to serve as an information base of potential practices to help us here in Canada.

I am a Psychiatric Nurse in the ER department, so I see virtually every social issue you can imagine walk or get wheeled into my work. A just transition is essential if we are to combat climate change. We must take care of all the people affected, we must retrain oil workers, and those suffering from a decline in marine life, forestry workers etc. We can do this if we do it together!	Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fully implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.	Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fully implement the the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action.	Yes	Seeing Bahamians being taken off a ship to Florida and away from safety after hurricane Dorian was dehumanizing. We are suffering a global change in climate and it will take a global effort to mitigate the fallout from that.	I first joined Greenpeace 27 years ago to protect whales and dolphins, and have been a vocal opponent of destructive practices from tar sand extraction, the exploitation of Metro Vancouver's housing stocks and the environmental impact from that, and have influenced many politicians and voters to consider policy about all of the above.
29	Christine Saulnier	New Democratic Party	Halifax	Yes		Yes	We absolutely must take a science-based approach and cut Canada's emissions roughly in half within 10 years, which will limit warming to 1.5¬∞ and protect our planet. I also know that this is just This a start: one that we know is doable and where we have a clear plan to get there.	Yes	The accountability framework is absolutely necessary--no plan without targets, timelines and accountability is meaningful. The NDP's plan is to legislate science-based target and like other countries, establish an independent Climate Accountability Office to do regular audits of progress towards our climate goals, with a budget to share information about the importance of climate action with Canadians.

Tackling the climate crisis also means creating quality jobs in parts of the economy that are already green to ensure Canadians get access to the services they need: invest in public services (education, health care) as well as better quality of life by investing in arts and culture, and other green nonenergy sectors.	Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fully implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.	Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fully implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action.	Yes		Working together with First Nations, Inuit, and M√©tis as full and equal partners is critical to the fight against climate change. Indigenous communities are on the front lines, dealing with the impacts of climate change every day, and are best placed to protect cultural and biological diversity through control over their territory. New Democrats will ensure that all new buildings in Canada net-zero ready by 2030, and complete energy efficiency retrofits on all existing housing stock in Canada by 2050 (prioritizing social housing first and those without the means to do so). We will get more zero-emissions vehicles on the road (made in Canada), electrify our transit fleets by 2030, and work towards fare-free transit with interested municipalities.

I would like to add that in my own workplace, Toronto Pearson International Airport, we have been calling for a shift to clean technology for ground support equipment as well as the infrastructure needed to support a fleet of electric equipment. The airline sector represents a portion of Canada's overall emissions, the NDP will support our local aerospace sector so that we see the benefits of clean technology development and become a world leader in clean aviation ensuring We create and keep good jobs in this field. Creating technology to reduce aircraft emissions will take time, we should be looking at all options to reduce our carbon footprint within this important sector.

We need to overcome the partisan divides that have held up climate action for decades. The Climate Emergency Cabinet's mandate would be to ensure that Canada does its part to limit global warming to a level civilization can survive, and mitigate the impacts of climate change on Canadians.	Yes	The target set by the Green Party of Canada is 60% reduction below 2005 levels by 2030, and net zero emissions by 2050.This target will meet Canada's nationally determined contribution (NDC) in the Paris Agreement, unlike the current target‚Äîwhich we are not even on track to meet.	Yes	We need to meet our climate targets, because there is no real alternative.A carbon budget would be a useful tool to ensure that Canada is on track and is putting climate change at the forefront of all policy.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	All of the above. The Green Party has a plan that addresses the needs of workers through the massive changes coming for our economy.Transitioning to a sustainable economy will bring changes, but also a great opportunity for Canadian workers. Investments in renewable energy, public transit, and critical infrastructure will create new jobs, and training programs will help smooth the transition for fossil fuel workers into new industries.	Yes	The Green Party fully embraces all 46 articles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).A Green government will remove all obstacles within the judicial, legislative and executive branches of government to wholly implement UNDRIP. Greens will implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and reform all judicial, legislative, and executive branches of the federal government so that they are consistent with the Declaration.	Yes	Canada has a profound legal obligation to reconcile and provide restitution for the colonial relations ‚Äì marked by violent expropriation, displacement, and forced assimilation ‚Äì that have undermined the cultural, governance and economic foundations of the Indigenous Peoples of this land.The Green Party of Canada recognizes the ongoing leadership, resistance and resilience of Indigenous Peoples in the face of systemic oppression and inter-generational trauma.A Green government will support all Indigenous Peoples' efforts to emerge from the positions of disadvantage in which Canada has placed them. We believe that Canada cannot reach its full potential as a nation until the socio-economic gap between Indigenous Peoples and the rest of Canada is closed.	Yes	Greens will lead a national discussion to create a legal definition of "environmental refugee" and advocate for its inclusion as a refugee category in Canada We will accept an appropriate share of the world's environmental refugees into Canada
37	Dave Birdi	Liberal Party of Canada	Skeena Bulkley Valley	Yes		Yes		Yes			The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.			Yes		Yes		Yes
38	David Busch	Conservative Party of Canada	Saanich-Gulf Islands	Yes		No	Canada's pledge for the Paris Agreement (2015) is to cut emissions by 30% below 2005 levels by 2030. These targets were developed by the previous Conservative government.The Paris targets are Conservative targets and our plan will give Canada the best chance at reaching them.	Yes	Idea is interesting, would like to see more information!			Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	Canada needs to improve its resilience to extreme weather events to keep our communities safe. Communities must be able to identify risks and to be able to plan properly to address the risks.An adaptation lens may include designing infrastructure to protect a community from extreme weather events, but it may also include designing other infrastructure to ensure resilience with respect to known hazards. In either case, it will help communities to be prepared in the event of an emergency.	Yes	This Bill was passed in the Senate this past June.	Yes	There is a long way to go the road to reconciliation - we all need to do our part. As an MP, I will work directly with our First Nations constituents.	Yes	Canada is a welcoming place for all people - it might be worthwhile to add an environmental lenses to our refugee and immigration framework.	Thanks for the opportunity to speak. Please reach out directly for any further questions!
39	David Merner	Green Party of Canada	Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke	Yes	The Green Party, through the Mission: Possible climate action plan, is the only party proposing the establishment of an inner cabinet of all parties to combat climate change. Modelled on the war cabinets of Mackenzie King and Winston Churchill, parties will work together to ensure that climate is no longer treated like a political football. The climate crisis requires all hands on deck.	Yes	Yes. The Green Party's Mission: Possible climate action plan includes a 60% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 (from 2005 levels) and zero emissions by 2050. I personally support these policies.	Yes		A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	To address a just and fair transition Greens will: - Invest in comprehensive retraining and apprenticeship programs to re-purpose skills of industrial trades workers for jobs in the renewable energy sector, ensuring continued employment opportunities for Canada's skilled workers. - Initiate a massive cleanup of "orphaned" oil wells; depending on the geology many of those wells can be transformed to produce geothermal energy. - Institute a country-wide building program that will retrofit all buildings to optimum energy. - Create a transition framework that acknowledges and factors in, to the greatest extent possible, the unique resources and circumstances of each province. - Within the UNDRIP principles of self-determination and self-government, form partnerships with Indigenous peoples to ramp up renewable energy development in First Nations communities and on Indigenous lands. - Adopt all 10 recommendations of the Task Force on Just Transition for Canadian Coal. - Power workers and communities and apply those lessons to other sectors impacted by moving off fossil fuels. I personally support all of these policies.	Yes	The Green Party fully supports the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Canada must fully conform to UNDRIP. I personally support this policy.	Yes	Greens will implement the calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the calls of the report from the Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. I personally support these policies.	Yes	It is estimated that climate change will create approximately 700 million environmental refugees by mid-century. The Green Party will lead a national discussion to define 'environmental refugee' and advocate for the inclusion of environmental refugees as a refugee category in Canada and accept an appropriate share of the world's environmental refugees into Canada. I personally support this policy.
40	Deb Schulte	Liberal Party of Canada	King-Vaughan	Yes		Yes		Yes		A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	We all need to make significant change in our lives to reduce emissions and ensure a sustainable future for ourselves and future generations.	Yes		Yes			I believe this is an issue that the whole world will need to work on together and Canada will need to carefully manage the intake of migrants and refugees to ensure successful integration.	As a long time committed environmentalist I look forward to the day we stop debating about climate change and all work together to implement the necessary changes to our economy and energy use across the globe.
41	Diana Yoon	New Democratic Party	Spadina-Fort York	Yes	We have no time to waste in reducing our emissions and rapidly transitioning to a just and equitable low-carbon future. I would absolutely commit to joining an all-party climate caucus, especially to represent youth and implement an equity lens to all climate policies.	Yes	Absolutely. The NDP says we will meet ambitious, science-based GHG emission reduction targets in line with IPCC recommendations. I believe that this is a flexible approach to make sure that we stay accountable to our global responsibility in emission reductions, instead of having a standard that could be rolled back by future governments. I work at The Atmospheric Fund (TAF) which co-developed the City of Toronto's TransformTO plan to reduce emissions by 80% by 2050 -- and have the expertise on climate solutions and emission reduction strategies. However, I believe that this 80% reduction was insufficient for the climate crisis we face. It is critical that all levels of government need to do everything we can to accelerate our emission reductions as much as possible, as fast as possible.	Yes	Yes, a carbon budget makes sense to track federal GHG emission reductions and hold us accountable. You can't measure what you don't track. I think the NDP's plan to establish an independent Climate Accountability Office to do regular audits of progress towards our climate goals will be invaluable in holding our government accountable.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	During my time at Queen's University, I led our fossil fuel divestment efforts as well as a number of other climate action initiatives on campus. Ending fossil fuel subsidies is a tangible commitment that the NDP has made - and is something that I personally am passionate about, given my prior experience in divestment.As a young person, I get the anxiety and worry that so many of us have when we think about the increasingly precarious job market and the rising cost of living. 1 million new low-carbon jobs is exactly the kind of Green New Deal-like program we need to accelerate a just and equitable transition to a low-carbon future. Decarbonizing our transportation systems (like expanding free electric transit!) and our housing should go hand in hand with creating new local job opportunities particularly for BIPOC and other marginalized communities.	Yes	It is a national disgrace that our current federal government puts the profits from fossil fuel pipeline expansion over the future of Indigenous communities. We absolutely need to fully implement UNDRIP and have free, prior, and informed consent.	Yes	In partnership with First Nations, Metis, and Inuit people, we would work together to implement all of the 94 recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission - as well as work to implement the recommendations from the inquiry from murdered and missing Indigenous women.	Yes	As the climate crisis worsens, it is important we also tackle the far-right and anti-immigration sentiment that is growing in Canada and across Turtle Island as more and more people will get displaced and become climate refugees. Canada has a critical role to welcome and resettle refugees so that they have the supports they need. My family and I immigrated to Canada when I was four years old - and I understand how difficult it is as immigrants and newcomers to this country. We need to be compassionate and recognize our global responsibility in the climate crisis (as Canada is one of the worst carbon emitters in the country). Our federal government should also suspend the Safe Third Country agreement with the US.	Over the last year, it's become painfully obvious that the true leaders of the climate crisis are youth.Inspired by the school strikes for climate, the Sunrise Movement, and countless other young climate activists, I decided to take the leap into federal politics. I've been a climate justice activist since I was in high school - fighting for better transit in Mississauga, working to support climate solutions across Ontario, and protesting the Kinder Morgan Pipeline on Parliament Hill in 2016.I was named one of Canada's Top 25 Environmentalists Under 25 in 2017 by The Starfish. I've dedicated my entire life to fighting the climate crisis -- and I think it is necessary that young voices are not tokenized and that we are the ones at the forefront of the climate movement in our political systems and our communities. I'm proud to be part of an NDP team that truly gets the need for a just and equitable transition to a low-carbon future. Our Spadina-Fort York campaign is centered around climate justice and truly affordable housing. We are fighting for a liveable future. Thanks for your consideration and for all of your climate action efforts. Diana
42	Emma Norton	New Democratic Party	Dartmouth-Cole Harbour	Yes		Yes	The science is clear: we need to be cutting Canada's emissions roughly in half within 10 years. That's the way to limit warming to 1.5¬∞ and protect our planet. That means urgent action - we have to cut twice as fast as the Liberals, who are only on track to meet their inadequate targets 200 years late.	Yes	Canadians are tired of Conservative and Liberal governments that are missing targets after targets. The NDP will legislate its science-based target and like other countries, we will establish an independent Climate Accountability Office to do regular audits of progress towards our climate goals, with a budget to share information about the importance of climate action with Canadians. Our plan will use the powers of the federal government to ensure that the provinces set and meet interim emissions reduction targets in the lead up to 2030 and 2050.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	New Democrats believe that any climate change plan that leaves Canadian workers or regions behind is no plan at all. There are real solutions that invest in good jobs in all communities and rebuild local economies with meaningful, family-sustaining work in every part of the country, all while helping to make the changes we need to succeed in a low carbon future. An important part of our plan will include making sure that physical, digital and social infrastructure investments contribute to emissions reductions and benefit all regions and communities, especially those already experiencing the impacts of climate change, with the good, family-sustaining jobs they bring. We estimate that our plan will create at least 300,000 good jobs across the country in the next four years. A New Democrat government will work together with labour, employers, and the provinces and territories to find solutions for workers and communities in all impacted sectors, based on the recommendations of the Task Force on Just Transition for Canadian Coal Power Workers and Communities. New Democrats will put in place dedicated employment support combining access to expanded EI benefits, re-training and job placement services, paired with significant investments to create quality local jobs and support thriving communities. We will also vigorously defend pensions, so that workers can always count on the retirement security that they've earned, and make sure that workers who are close to the end of their careers have a bridge to a dignified retirement. Training for the future of work is also core to our approach, including expanded access to income supports, training and re-training for the new job market. New Democrats will set a national standard to ensure that Canadian employers continue to invest in training and employee development, and we'll work with the provinces to focus on training for sectors with the strongest job growth, in order to ensure that everyone has access to the skills and knowledge that will be in demand in a low-carbon future. New Democrats will also create a framework for enshrining Community Benefits Agreements in federally funded infrastructure projects, to make sure that public money is put to its best possible use creating local economic opportunities and building support from local communities for climate goals. This will go hand in hand with improving apprenticeship rates for skilled trades and putting supports in place so that women, racialized Canadians, Indigenous peoples, and other under-represented groups can more easily choose careers in the trades.	Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fully implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.	Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fully implement the the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action.	Yes		New Democrats will work with Indigenous peoples to co-develop a National Action Plan for Reconciliation, drawing directly from the Calls to Action and the Declaration to ensure that Canada's laws, policies, and practices are consistent with Canada's human rights commitments ‚Äì including cultural rights, land rights, and rights to self-determination and self- government. Through legislation, we will establish a National Council for Reconciliation to provide oversight and accountability for this process, reporting regularly to Parliament and Canadians. New Democrats will make all new buildings in Canada net-zero ready by 2030, and complete energy efficiency retrofits on all existing housing stock in Canada by 2050. We will get more zero-emissions vehicles on the road, electrify our transit fleets by 2030, and work towards fare- free transit with interested municipalities. And we will eliminate fossil fuel subsidies immediately and get Canada powered by net carbon-free electricity by 2030.. We'll also reform Export Development Canada's mandate to focus on providing support for Canadian sustainable energy projects, rather than the petroleum industry.

50	Gerry Hawes	Liberal Party of Canada	Simcoe North	Yes	I recognize that climate change is a grave problem requiring focused, concerted effort by all levels of government, non-government organizations, and citizens, including international coordination and collaboration. As the Member of Parliament for Simcoe North I will work with colleagues across party lines to advocate for more, and faster, action to reduce our carbon emissions and develop sustainable alternatives, which offer the added benefit of new opportunities for economic growth and social equity.As per an IPCC report in August 2019, Agriculture accounts for 23% of all human-caused carbon emissions. This illustrates the reality that reducing carbon emissions requires action across economic sectors. Fortunately, Canada's agricultural sector has a record of leadership in addressing environmental challenges, so I am confident that producers will collaborate with the government to review agricultural practices with the goal of lessening our carbon footprint and providing global leadership for all nations to follow. As the Member of Parliament for Simcoe North I will encourage all sectors to do their part, and the federal government to put in place effective and constructive measures to foster and encourage concrete action.	Yes	These targets are consistent with internationally recognized goals for an effective response to the worsening impacts of climate change. Canada must lead by example so we can exert influence on the global community to join us in taking much greater action, and doing it faster. These are challenging goals, but Canada has risen to the occasion to successfully address environmental problems in the past (acid rain and ozone depletion come to mind), and I am confident that, with the proper leadership in Ottawa, Canadians will pull together to do it again. I am personally supportive of these goals and feel that, through Canadian ingenuity, we can do this plus come out ahead socially and economically as a country.	Yes	Canada needs an efficient and effective plan for reducing our carbon footprint. The Liberals have engaged Canadians in strategies that work, and are supported by climate scientists and economists alike. Canada's climate change strategy needs to be regularly assessed to ensure it is working and sustainable. I support the development of a legislated accountability framework in principle but would have to see the details and understand the implications of the specific proposal before deciding whether to support it.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	I support all of these measures in principle as part of a "multi-year plan" and a "just transition". However, I also believe the federal government must work closely with industry, provincial governments, non-government organizations and citizens to foster the conditions needed to bring about a workable consensus. I further believe that any attempts to short-circuit such a consensus will ultimately fail to bring about the desired transition, while fomenting disunity and political polarization. Those are not conditions in which sustainable, meaningful change can be brought about, thus the work of building this consensus must be a top priority. I believe that the Liberals have been working hard towards this and, as the Member of Parliament for Simcoe North, I will keep the government's feet to the fire.	Yes	The Liberal government has taken more action than any previous government to resolve inequities and honour the rights of Indigenous peoples. This is a track record about which I am proud, but much work remains. I am very committed to contributing to this effort as the Member of Parliament for Simcoe North. This is a matter about which I have a personal passion for several reasons, not the least of which is that my spouse is an Indigenous person who, along with his family and ancestors, has been historically wronged by federal policy and institutions.	Yes	I support implementing all the recommendations of the TRC. The Liberal government is off to a good start in this regard in its first term, and it deserves a second term to continue the progress. I look forward to playing a constructive part in this work as the Member of Parliament for Simcoe North.	Yes	Canada has an important role to play in providing global leadership in strategies to minimize the effects of climate change on citizens around the world, and to work towards local and regional solutions to support climate change migrants. I believe that the best and most effective solutions are those developed by the people and jurisdictions closest to, and most implicated by, this challenge. Canada can do a lot to help financially and by sharing technology, science and human resources to help people relocate and re-establish productive lives. Of course, Canada should also do its fair share of welcoming dispossessed people for whom local and regional solutions are not viable.	I published my values at https://www.gerryhawes.ca/gerrys-views so voters can judge for themselves what's in my heart and my priorities as their Member of Parliament.

I am on the record in the House of Commons repeatedly calling on all partiesfor the divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies, support for clean energy and immediate actions to mitigate the effects of the climate emergency. My vision is that workers will not be left behind, communities will be powered by sustainable clean energy and the targets of IPCC are met. My vision is for social, economic and environmental justice for my children and future generations.	Yes	I am on the record in the House of Commons in support of my colleague Romeo Saganash's bill to implement UNDRIP.	Yes	I am on the record as supporting all of the 94 recommendations of the the Truth and Reconciliation Commission both in the House of Commons and in consultations with Indigenous leaders in Courtenay-Alberni.	Yes	This is the greatest humanitarian emergency facing the people of our planet and I believe strongly that Canada has a leadership responsibility to assist in the re-settlement of climate change migrants and refugees.	I have a strong record in Parliament on: establishing an electrification grid for Canada, a home energy retrofit program, the protection and enhancement of wild salmon, a strategy for active transportation (eg. my bill C312 for a national cycling strategy) and, importantly, the need for all levels of government and sectors of society to act urgently and together in support of our mother earth.

54	Heather McPherson	New Democratic Party	Edmonton Strathcona	Yes	I have spent most of my career working in sustainable development and I have witnessed first hand how the climate crisis has already, and will continue to have far reaching impacts in Canada and around the world. I am ready to work across party lines and have experience doing so. As a member of the Canadian delegation at a number of high level meetings at the United Nations in both New York and Bonn, I have pressed for increased commitments from government, private sector, and multi-lateral institutions on sustainable development issues and have framed much of my work and effort over the past several years around the Sustainable Development Goals. I have also had an important role bringing together leaders from industry, government, civil society, and academia to work collaboratively on sustainable development solutions.	Yes	The science is clear: we need to be cutting Canada’s emissions roughly in half within 10 years. That’s the way to limit warming to 1.5° and protect our planet. That means urgent action - we have to cut twice as fast as the Liberals, who are only on track to meet their inadequate targets 200 years late. I am committed to fighting for our climate. I am a mother of two amazing children and an aunt to 6 nieces and nephews. The future of our planet is the most pressing issue of our time.	Yes	Canadians are tired of Conservative and Liberal governments that are missing target after target. The NDP will legislate its science-based target and like other countries, we will establish an independent Climate Accountability Office to do regular audits of progress towards our climate goals, with a budget to share information about the importance of climate action with Canadians. Our plan will use the powers of the federal government to ensure that the provinces set and meet interim emissions reduction targets in the lead up to 2030 and 2050.

New Democrats believe that any climate change plan that leaves Canadian workers or regions behind is no plan at all. There are real solutions that invest in good jobs in all communities and rebuild local economies with meaningful, family-sustaining work in every part of the country, all while helping to make the changes we need to succeed in a low carbon future.An important part of our plan will include making sure that physical, digital and social infrastructure investments contribute to emissions reductions and benefit all regions and communities, especially those already experiencing the impacts of climate change, with the good, family-sustaining jobs they bring. We estimate that our plan will create at least 300,000 good jobs across the country in the next four years.A New Democrat government will work together with labour, employers, and the provinces and territories to find solutions for workers and communities in all impacted sectors, based on the recommendations of the Task Force on Just Transition for Canadian Coal Power Workers and Communities. New Democrats will put in place dedicated employment support combining access to expanded EI benefits, re-training and job placement services, paired with significant investments to create quality local jobs and support thriving communities. We will also vigorously defend pensions, so that workers can always count on the retirement security that they've earned, and make sure that workers who are close to the end of their careers have a bridge to a dignified retirement.Training for the future of work is also core to our approach. This includes expanded access to income supports, training and re-training for the new job market. New Democrats will set a national standard to ensure that Canadian employers continue to invest in training and employee development, and we'll work with the provinces to focus on training for sectors with the strongest job growth, in order to ensure that everyone has access to the skills and knowledge that will be in demand in a low-carbon future.New Democrats will also create a framework for enshrining Community Benefits Agreements in federally funded infrastructure projects. Do this will ensure that public money is put to its best possible use creating local economic opportunities and building support from local communities for climate goals. This will go hand in hand with improving apprenticeship rates for skilled trades and putting supports in place so that women, racialized Canadians, Indigenous peoples, and other under-represented groups can more easily choose careers in the trades.	Yes	My Master’s thesis focused on the vital role indigenous knowledges play in the achievement of sustainable development, so I know very well how important self-determination and the right to traditionally owned land and resources is to Indigenous Peoples in order to achieve our climate goals and support or diverse eco-systems. In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fully implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.	Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fully implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action.	Yes	Canada’s role in welcoming climate change migrants and refugees needs to be based on compassion and equality. As a wealthy country, with a smaller population, I feel that we have a moral obligation to welcome those people displaced by the climate crisis as well as those displaced by war or internal strife. In addition, our commitments to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) means that we have committed to accepting those individuals that seek respite on our shores. In addition, I strongly feel that Canada is stronger for the diversity that makes up our country, and I know that those refugees and migrants from all over the world who have settled in Canada have made our country more resilient and stronger.	New Democrats will work with Indigenous peoples to co-develop a National Action Plan for Reconciliation, drawing directly from the Calls to Action and the Declaration to ensure that Canada’s laws, policies, and practices are consistent with Canada’s human rights commitments – including cultural rights, land rights, and rights to self-determination and self- government. Through legislation, we will establish a National Council for Reconciliation to provide oversight and accountability for this process, reporting regularly to Parliament and Canadians. New Democrats will make all new buildings in Canada net-zero ready by 2030, and complete energy efficiency retrofits on all existing housing stock in Canada by 2050. We will get more zero-emissions vehicles on the road, electrify our transit fleets by 2030, and work towards fare-free transit with interested municipalities. And we will eliminate fossil fuel subsidies immediately and get Canada powered by net carbon-free electricity by 2030. We’ll also reform Export Development Canada’s mandate to focus on providing support for Canadian sustainable energy projects, rather than the petroleum industry.
55	Iain Currie	Green Party of Canada	Kamloops Thompson Cariboo	Yes	Very much so. An all-hands-on-deck approach is central to Mission Possible, the Green Party of Canada's climate action vision statement.	Yes	I would push for a 60% reduction by 2030.	Yes		A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	A just transition requires starting immediately and with targets that will actually achieve the end goal of maintaining 1.5 degree warming. We do no one any favours by pretending that half measures will be good enough for our environment or our economy. We cannot wait to reach a political consensus that is as robust as the scientificconsensus. That will be too late to avoid the risks of inaction or realize the benefits of action.	Yes		Yes		Yes

We need to transition to sustainable energy sources as quickly as humanly possible, and I would support any and all measures that move us in that direction while respecting affected communities, workers in industries that must become obsolete, and global human well-being.	Yes	As a colonial nation that is currently committing ongoing genocide, we must work to halt and remediate the harm we are causing to Indigenous communities and their ability to thrive as quickly as possible.	Yes		Yes	Yes. As a northern country, we will face less severe impacts of climate change and will continue to have large, habitable areas as much of the southern and equatorial regions become increasingly inhospitable for human life.Recognizing our ties to colonial empires which crippled colonized nations' ability to mitigate the effects of climate change, we have a responsibility to resettle those who are unable to remain in their homes due to the climate crisis.	The climate crisis is the single largest issue facing the world today, and every government at every level has a responsibility to recognize, understand, and act accordingly for the benefit of both humans and non-humans who inhabit this planet.

59	Jane Philpott	Independent	Markham-Stouffville	Yes	I propose the next government should swiftly establish two new bodies to build support for the climate action framework, improve it where necessary, and ensure its implementation. The first should be an empowered committee of parliamentarians representing all parties and independents. The second should be an arms-length body of climate experts who will provide oversight and accountability.	Yes	GHG emissions must be reduced by 50 to 60 percent against 2005 levels by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050.	Yes	We must improve our emission-reduction targets and legislate them for accountability.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.		Yes		Yes		Yes	This would need to be done in the overall context of fair policies for refugee settlement.	Please refer to my website (and in particular the blogposts) for further details of my views and commitments on these issues.
60	Jason Deveau	Liberal Party of Canada	West Nova	Yes	The results of the recent IPCC report are not lost on me.The report confirmed that we are the first generation to feel the impacts of climate change and the last generation that has the possibility of stopping it.In the wake of the IPCC report, we all need to work collectively to improve our record on the environment and to preserve our planet for future generations.I look forward to continuing a dialogue about how we can continue to fight climate change while continuing to grow our economy.	Yes	I personally recognize that there's more work to do for Canada to meet the IPCC's most recent recommendations.Over the past four years, the Liberal government has implemented numerous policies that will help Canada achieve its target of reducing GHG emissions by 30% by 2030 from 2005 levels.This includes, among many other things: - putting a price on pollution in provinces that did not have a credible climate plan; - launching the Oceans Protection Plan, the single largest investment in Canadian history to protect our oceans;- investing in green infrastructure, including public transit and renewable energy; and - declaring a national climate emergency.I look forward to further commitments related to the environment and climate change as part of the upcoming election platform.	Yes	I personally support the development of a legislated accountability framework that would require the federal government to report to Parliament and Canadians on Canada's progress in meeting emissions targets.We must remember that the federal government can not be solely responsible for meeting Canada's emissions targets.Reducing our GHG emissions requires collaboration and cooperation from all orders of government including Aboriginal governments, industry, not-for-profit organizations, academia, and the general public.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	I share the Liberal Party's vision of aclean environment and a strong economy that go hand in hand.The global clean technology market presents a promising opportunity for Canadian businesses, a source of new clean jobs for the middle class, and a driver of prosperity for all Canadians. When it comes to clean technology, Canada has the opportunity to be a true global leader ‚Äì creating good, well-paying jobs for Canadians while helping to meet our climate change goals.The Liberal government has already taken steps to boost the growth of Canada's clean technology sector, with the aim of fostering the growth of Canadian technologies and companies. This included $1.4 billion in new financing through the Business Development Bank of Canada and Export Development Canada that is committed to clean technology, and $400 million to Sustainable Development Technology Canada.Investing in the development of new clean technologies accelerates the innovation required to bring them to market, increases the competitiveness of Canadian firms and creates new green jobs.	Yes	The Liberal Government has been committed to renewing the relationship with Indigenous peoples, based on the recognition of rights, respect, cooperation and partnership.It has already begun implementing UNDRIP, including through the release of the Principles Respecting the Government of Canada's Relationship with Indigenous Peoples as well as through the establishment of a Working Group of Ministers on the Review of Laws and Policies Related to Indigenous Peoples.At the same time, I personally acknowledge that additional measures must be undertaken to implement UNDRIP.I am pleased that this Liberal government has been working, in full partnership with Indigenous peoples, to develop and implement a new Recognition and Implementation of Rights Framework.The objective of this Framework is to support the recognition and implementation of Indigenous rights in a manner consistent with the Constitution Act, 1982, and UNDRIP.Regarding my support for legislation that would fully implement UNDRIP, I am prepared to support such legislation but would want to read the text of any proposed legislation before confirming my support.	Yes	I support the implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's calls to action.As mentioned in my answer to Question 11, I would want to read the text of any proposed legislation before confirming my support.	Yes	The world is seeing unprecedented levels of men, women and children displaced by climate change.Last year, there were some 258 million migrants, a 50% increase since the year 2000.Canada is a leader in welcoming and integrating immigrants thanks to a widespread understanding that when immigrants are given the tools to succeed, they help grow our economy.Canada is therefore well positioned to play a leadership role in not only welcoming climate change migrants and refugees, but also to share our best practices with partner countries to make sure that they also have a system in place to help them integrate and succeed.I also believe Canada must play a leadership role in international efforts to combat climate change to mitigate the prospects of future mass migrations as a result of deteriorating climatic conditions.	I share the conviction that the protection and preservation of our environment is of the utmost importance.This conviction is shared by millions of Canadians who recognize that climate change is real and who are worried about the future of their environment.Through my academic background (Bachelor of Arts in Geography and Master in Geography) and my professional experience working as a policy analyst at Environment and Climate Change Canada, I have gained an appreciation and a wealth of knowledge about the challenges that we collectively face when it comes to climate change, and also some of the economic opportunities that can be harnessed as we begin our transition to a cleaner economy.The Harper government's inaction on climate change compelled me to present myself as a nomination candidate for the Liberal Party of Canada in 2014.The same inaction demonstrated by the absence of a serious climate plan by Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives continues to compel me to this day.I am proud to be a candidate in the upcoming federal election for a party -- the Liberal Party -- who has led the most climate-friendly government in our country's history.On October 21, we have a clear choice to make.Let's continue moving forward with the real progress we've made together as Canadians rather than move backwards to the same inaction and failed policies of the Harper years.
61	Jean-Luc Cooke	Green Party of Canada	Nepean	Yes	Climate change is our top issue.We need all hands on deck.It's go time.We need to decarbonize the grid, transportation and as much of industry as possible.	Yes		Yes		A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.		Yes		Yes		Yes
62	Jenica Atwin	Green Party of Canada	Fredericton	Yes	Absolutely. We have a lot of work to do nationally. The all-party select committee on climate change that held hearings in New Brunswick in the summer of 2016 is an effective model to replicate in order to prepare a national framework to meet our emissions targets.	Yes		Yes		A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	The other piece of a just transition is to not leave fossil fuel workers behind. The Green party's Mission: Possible plan commits to a just transition for workers in Canada's fossil fuel industries to secure jobs in the renewable energy economy. Many oil and gas workers' skills are readily transferable to the renewable energy sector. In addition to creating the clean energy jobs, we need to make sure there are bridging programs to facilitate that transition in our work force.	Yes	Absoultely! My step-father has been fighting this fight for years. He has taken youth delegations to New York for each of the last three years for the annual UN global indigenous youth caucus. I am disappointed by the reversal of the Trudeau government to implement the UNDRIP without qualification. It can be done. We need to bring indigenous voices to the table to carve a path forward together.	Yes	Yes. I have spent the last ten years doing in-depth studies of the residential school era and working with communities experiencing the implications of the history. The recommendations can be fulfilled and they must be.	Yes	Canada has long been a beacon of hope for people in crisis around the world. We should take a leadership position in welcoming global climate change migrants and refugees into our country.	I am pleased to see the topics covered by this questionnaire. These are the sorts of issues I'm hearing at the doors I canvass as well. I notice that there is no question on electoral reform here. I would like to say that I remain committed to fighting for a fairer electoral system.

The Greens also want a Guaranteed Livable Income. People in industries that are dramatically changing (not just in O&G, consider fisheries) should have a level of support that we all should have were we in similar position.	Yes		Yes	I do not recall all 94 recommendations and if there are ones that fall outside of federal jurisdiction we would have to work with prov/territorial / municipal counterparts as needed.	Yes	Definitely.

66	Jo-Ann Roberts	Green Party of Canada	Halifax	Yes	Green Party Leader, Elizabeth May, has issued a request to all federal party leaders to commit now, before the election, to working together in an all-party Climate Cabinet. (sept. 3, 2019)	Yes	Actually, Mission Possible call for 60% reduction in GHG levels below 2005 levels by 2030 and net zero by 2050.	Yes	We should also file our new target as Canada's Nationally Determined Contribution with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	Complete a national building retrofit to create millions of new, well-paying jobs in the trades so that all types of buildings are carbon-neutral by 2030. This means a reduced demand for fossil fuels as well.	Yes	A Green government would re-introduce legislation to enshrine UNRIP in Canadian law.	Yes	As a party we also are committed to implementation of all 94 of the recommendations of the TRC.	Yes	Greens would lead a national discussion to define "environmental refugee" and advocate for its inclusion as a refugee category in Canada, and accept an appropriate share of the world's environmental refugees.	The Green Party of Canada, and I, as Deputy Leader, am very committed to working together with other elected MPs from all parties to achieve these goals. I also pledge to be accountable to the constituency I represent for my actions in the House of Commons. I believe Party loyalty should be secondary to a loyalty to my riding.
67	Joan Gottman	New Democratic Party	Salaberry-Suroît	Yes	The NDP invited the other parties to work on this problem together but the liberals and conservatives refused the invitation .	Yes	The NDP will revise Canada's GHG reduction targets for 2030 to follow the recommendations of the IPCC.	Yes	The NDP will declare a climate emergency and will adopt a law forcing the government to establish a plan to meet ambitious GHG reduction targets that are based on science and will contribute to keeping warming at below 1.5 degrees Celsius across the globe.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	An NDP government will eliminate fossil fuel subsidies immediately and get Canada powered by net carbon-free electricity by 2030. We will create at least 300,000 good jobs building the clean energy future in the next four years.Training for the future of work is a core part of our approach, including expanded access to training and re-training for the new job market, as well as labour market research to keep Canada on the cutting edge of the evolving work environment	Yes	An essential aspect of our climate plan is the respect for Indigenous rights and implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.	Yes	The NDP is committed to the full implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. This includes the right to self-determination and the need for free, prior and informed consent on any decisions affecting traditional territory and rights. In addition to working nation-to-nation with affected communities, New Democrats will ensure that First Nations, Inuit and the M√©tis leadership have a seat at high-level decision-making tables to help direct climate change efforts in Canada.	Yes	In addition to tackling the causes of climate change.	The climate crisis is the most urgent issue of our time. It's the principal reason I am compelled to go into politics.

68	Joan Phillip	New Democratic Party	Central Okanagan-Similkmeen-Nicola	Yes	Whatever it takes!	Yes	Canada's government needs to commit to doing whatever is recommended by credible science to reduce climate change.	Yes	Absolutely.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	We are getting to the point of no return and we need to implement this as soon as possible for future generations.	Yes	It's long overdue, it's legislation that is needed to overcome colonization.We need to bring levels of service up to the same as settler Canadians.	Yes	I have far too many comments on this subject to fit into this survey.	Yes	Absolutely!
69	Jody Wilson-Raybould	Independent	Vancouver Granville	Yes	Having been removed from the Liberal caucus by the Prime Minister, one of the main reasons that I am running as an Independent and not for another party is to be able to work across party lines and to focus on the issues that matter most to the constituents of Vancouver Granville and to Canadians. Front and center is my desire to focus on the climate crisis. If given the honour of re-election, I intend to continue to be a strong voice in the next Parliament and do whatever I can, using my influence and the tools I have, to address the crisis including helping to establish an all-party climate caucus and associated committee(s). For those that will be sitting in Parliament this Fall, climate action must be top of the agenda. Our objective should be to develop a non-partisan bold climate action plan, one that survives the life of one government ‚Äî no one party has all the answers to address the climate crisis. We have to work together. The action plan will require legislation to implement.The climate crisis is without a doubt the issue of our time and requires us all to 'colour outside of the party lines' in order to meet the IPCC targets and to do our duty by future generations.Note: I will be posting a blog on Climate Change early during the campaign period.	Yes	Yes, I support achieving a reduction of Canada's GHG emissions of at least 50% from 2005 levels by 2030, and net zero emissions by 2050, in line with the most recent recommendations of the IPCC. The latest bombshell from the IPCC - which we all need to understand - is that we need targets to get us to 1.5C, and we only have eleven years to do so. I believe we will need to legislate our targets with regular reporting to Parliament and Canadians on how we are doing in meeting these targets. Targets cannot simply be 'aspirational' or the subject of political dialogue and debate. We need real commitments.	Yes	In many ways, I have been advocating for a legislative accountability regime for some time now including one that will ensure we are doing all that we can to meet agreed to and necessary emission levels. As an Independent MP, I will continue to fight for the appropriate legislative framework to hold Parliament and whatever government is in power accountable. In addition to meeting emission targets, we also need to ensure climate action and justice is considered in all policy and legislative proposals. Climate related issues impact most, if not all, areas of public policy (fisheries, water issues, transportation, housing, immigration/migration/environmental refugees, agriculture, social justice, natural resource development, Indigenous reconcilation, to name a few). Thinking more broadly, and while not currently on the political radar, at some point Canada will revisit our Constitution. At that time I believe we need to consider climate action and address the Constitutional protection and regulation of the environment. In the meantime, there are other legislative options that we can consider to support the protection of our environment which has been done in other nation states. This includes considering giving legal status and rights to elements of the environment so that the natural world has legal standing and can be defended in court.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	Managing and planning the transition to a green economy and a more sustainable way of living on this planet is our collective challenge. A smooth transition is the political key to our success in combating the climate crisis - we need to collectively mobilize. As a country, we must rely less and less on fossil fuels to drive our economy ‚Äì whether to power our industry and our homes or to export for income ‚Äì and there are and must continue to be more changes afoot as we increasingly wean ourselves off of our appetite for oil and gas. The big question is how long will it take and will it be enough? Will it be soon enough? As a society we need to get it right - we need to have a plan and stick to it. The transition is not proving to be easy. This is where the politics becomes very real as it affects people's jobs. While many new jobs are being created more will be needed and those that will lose their jobs need a real alternative (note: we know there are many more jobs that will be created in the new green economy). We know there will ultimately be sacrifices that need to be made by all of us. Please do not let anyone tell you anything different. While we all need time to adjust (and in particular industry), the transition will need to occur faster than some may expect or want. As a society we must find the balance and make the transition work within the time we have before it is too late.We also need to ensure other countries follow suit. This is perhaps is our biggest challenge. Canada cannot do this alone. For the developing world we must also consider our climate debt. Industrialized nations with historical responsibility need to do more.While the climate crisis can disproportionally affect poor countries, it also disproportionally affects Indigenous peoples. The recent fires in the Amazon have brought world attention to the plight of Indigenous peoples, the impact of climate change and their role in protecting the environment. Understanding Indigenous worldviews and respecting Indigenous legal orders is important. People that live off the land and rely on it are among the best stewards of the land ‚Äî and we know Indigenous peoples have been here for millennia. More people are beginning to appreciate this in Canada and increasingly the powers of Indigenous self-governments over the environment are being recognized and implemented in self-government agreements. We see this in the Lower Mainland and the benefit will be for all. We need to accelerate this process so that Indigenous governments can take their rightful place within our evolving system of multi-level governance and cooperative federalism in Canada.	Yes	When I was the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, I did, in fact, announce that the government would be supporting legislation to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Unfortunately Bill C-262 never received Royal Assent and it will die on the order paper when the election is called (upon the disillusion of Parliament). Article 25 of UNDRIP (which speaks to the implications for environmental stewardship) states: "Indigenous peoples have the right to maintain and strengthen their distinctive spiritual relationship with their traditionally owned or otherwise occupied and used lands, territories, waters and coastal seas and other resources and to uphold their responsibilities to future generations in this regard".In the next Parliament, we need to resurrect Bill C-262 as a first step and expand upon it. As an Independent MP, I will continue to work across party lines as a champion for reconciliation based on the recognition of rights. We must create the space for Indigenous nations to rebuild within a stronger Canada. As with climate change, the plan to do this should be non-partisan. When we create the space for Indigenous nations to be self-determining -‚Äì to operationalize the minimum standards for the survival, dignity and well-being of Indigenous peoples articulated in UNDRIP's Articles and translate these standards into practical and meaningful benefits on the ground in communities ‚Äî it will not only transform Indigenous communities and Nations, but it will transform Canada and for the better.	Yes	I have great respect for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and support the implementation of the 94 calls to action found in the Report of the Commission released in December of 2015. Unfortunately while progress has been made implementing the calls to action, some of the most important calls to action have not been implemented or fully implemented and some not implemented properly. Further, some of the calls to action are not solely the purview of the federal government and require other governments or parties to act. We all have a role to play in ensuring we address the TRC calls to action (not to mention the need to address the MMIWG Report's "Calls for Justice").	Yes	Canada was built through immigration. As a proud Indigenous Canadian, our ancestors welcomed newcomers to this land and assumed they would respect the ways of the original inhabitants. Of course, this was not always the case and we are still dealing with this legacy today. To be sure, our country, moving forward, needs more people. Forward thinking and strong immigration policy will be key. In the future, it is safe to assume that globally the number of environmental refugees will increase and Canada will, as we have helped other groups in the past, have a role to play in aiding them. We need not fear this but rather embrace it as part of our broader strategy to grow our Nation and to do our necessary part. We need to be prepared.	All Canadians need to be aware of the climate crisis and what we need to do, can do and will do to face this challenge head on.We can move beyond hyper-partisanship and focus on the best ideas ‚Äî on the climate crisis and on Indigenous reconciliation and so many other important issues. I believe that more independent voices can improve our democracy ‚Äî making it more representative, making it stronger. We need to work across party lines ‚Äî to be more collaborative, working as much as possible through consensus-based decision-making and take action that stands the test of time.Around the globe, and across our country, environmental, economic, and security challenges are deepening. These challenges share a fundamental characteristic...they ignore boundaries between nations and peoples. They impact all of us, reminding us of how were are interconnected. These challenges require solutions that see us acting with strength and in recognition of how we all have a part to play.In the fact of all our challenges, many places in the world have chosen to erode democracy, traffic in fear and promote division. The response in these places, to interconnected challenges that impact all of us, is to try to protect the few. We have to do the opposite. We need to respond through shared and joint efforts ‚Äî using the distinct ideas, talents, and expertise we all have to offer.It is about independence ‚Äî it is about transparency, of thought and deed. It is about more open and direct representation in government ‚Äî bringing people together instead of pulling them further apart. It is all about doing politics differently.Respectfully,Jody Wilson-Raybould Vancouver Granville

Few of the suggestions for a just transition mention the very large number of workers who will be needed for reclamation/remediation/"restoration" of the oilpatch. While the oil & gas companies still have some money, befirecthey flee the field in bankruptcy and leave the mess to the public, governments should insist on extremely fast ramp-up of such cleanup work - it is by nature more labour-intensive than development or production, and will employ more of the same people with same skills, working in the same locations, paid the same rates by the same companies (until they disappear) than are now at work.This will be a major contributor to the transition.	Yes		Yes		Yes		Our projections for labour requirements to clean up the oil patch, build out renewables and the national electrical grid suggest that we are going to need an awful lot of people in addition to those in Canada now.We will need to be careful in immigration policy to ensure that we don't just look for the "best and brightest", etc.We will need to being compassion to the fore as an explicit driver for immigration.UNDRIP should be a given.

The energy industry in Alberta has created a high standard of living for Albertans and Canadians, to mitigate suffering for workers and communities we need the government to be firm and clear in its mandate, but pragmatic and cooperative in its approach. The reality is that these industries are partners in finding solutions to reaching global emissions targets. We need them to be a part of the solution.I support subsidies in fossil fuel industries to help them transition, innovate, update equipment and business practices with the mandate of ensuring the energy industry lowers its carbon footprint. I also support subsidies that will be used to ensure clean-up of orphan wells and other sites that require accountability in land reclamation. I support subsidies that provide transitional and interim solutions for northern and remote communities. And lastly, I support government subsidies for technology transfer to developing and transitioning nations to help them lower their GHG and continue to be global leaders in the energy industry in a sustainable future.	Yes	YES YES YES YES YES	Yes	YES x100	Yes		As a labour advocate and entrepreneur who is deeply committed to climate action I believe that mitigation from suffering should be the primary focus of all climate initiatives. The impacts of extreme weather AND extreme economic uncertainty are both foreseeable causes of suffering for families, workers, businesses and communities.The primary goal of any climate plan needs to be mitigation against these forms of suffering. Simple solutions that perpetuate political divisiveness but don't have aim for mitigation or adaptation in a realistic way are not helpful in moving Canada forward with our climate goals.

76	Justine Bell	New Democratic Party	North Vancouver	Yes	N/A	Yes	The science is clear: we need to be cutting Canada's emissions roughly in half within 10 years. That's the way to limit warming to 1.5¬∞ and protect our planet. That means urgent action - we have to cut twice as fast as the Liberals, who are only on track to meet their inadequate targets 200 years late.	Yes	Canadians are tired of Conservative and Liberal governments that are missing targets after targets. The NDP will legislate its science-based target and like other countries, we will establish an independent Climate Accountability Office to do regular audits of progress towards our climate goals, with a budget to share information about the importance of climate action with Canadians. Our plan will use the powers of the federal government to ensure that the provinces set and meet interim emissions reduction targets in the lead up to 2030 and 2050.

New Democrats believe that any climate change plan that leaves Canadian workers or regions behind is no plan at all. There are real solutions that invest in good jobs in all communities and rebuild local economies with meaningful, family-sustaining work in every part of the country, all while helping to make the changes we need to succeed in a low carbon future.An important part of our plan will include making sure that physical, digital and social infrastructure investments contribute to emissions reductions and benefit all regions and communities, especially those already experiencing the impacts of climate change, with the good, family-sustaining jobs they bring. We estimate that our plan will create at least 300,000 good jobs across the country in the next four years.A New Democrat government will work together with labour, employers, and the provinces and territories to find solutions for workers and communities in all impacted sectors, based on the recommendations of the Task Force on Just Transition for Canadian Coal Power Workers and Communities. New Democrats will put in place dedicated employment support combining access to expanded EI benefits, re-training and job placement services, paired with significant investments to create quality local jobs and support thriving communities. We will also vigorously defend pensions, so that workers can always count on the retirement security that they've earned, and make sure that workers who are close to the end of their careers have a bridge to a dignified retirement.Training for the future of work is also core to our approach, including expanded access to income supports, training and re-training for the new job market. New Democrats will set a national standard to ensure that Canadian employers continue to invest in training and employee development, and we'll work with the provinces to focus on training for sectors with the strongest job growth, in order to ensure that everyone has access to the skills and knowledge that will be in demand in a low-carbon future.New Democrats will also create a framework for enshrining Community Benefits Agreements in federally funded infrastructure projects, to make sure that public money is put to its best possible use creating local economic opportunities and building support from local communities for climate goals. This will go hand in hand with improving apprenticeship rates for skilled trades and putting supports in place so that women, racialized Canadians, Indigenous peoples, and other under-represented groups can more easily choose careers in the trades.	Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fully implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.	Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fully implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action.	Yes		New Democrats will work with Indigenous peoples to co-develop a National Action Plan for Reconciliation, drawing directly from the Calls to Action and the Declaration to ensure that Canada's laws, policies, and practices are consistent with Canada's human rights commitments ‚Äì including cultural rights, land rights, and rights to self-determination and self- government. Through legislation, we will establish a National Council for Reconciliation to provide oversight and accountability for this process, reporting regularly to Parliament and Canadians.New Democrats will make all new buildings in Canada net-zero ready by 2030, and complete energy efficiency retrofits on all existing housing stock in Canada by 2050. We will get more zero-emissions vehicles on the road, electrify our transit fleets by 2030, and work towards fare- free transit with interested municipalities. And we will eliminate fossil fuel subsidies immediately and get Canada powered by net carbon-free electricity by 2030. We'll also reform Export Development Canada's mandate to focus on providing support for Canadian sustainable energy projects, rather than the petroleum industry.

The transition must be fair yet inclusive simultaneously. There will be areas that will be more difficult to transition, we must do this with cautious agression	Yes	Perhaps, more. I have done work within the nonprofit sector, which was endorsed by the TRCC headquarters. As a nurse in Winnipeg, I have been listening and learning the truth well before the Commission was formed.	Yes	Absolutely. My initiative has been recognized within the health recommendations.

Yes		Yes		Yes	If the predictions are correct, we will have significant migration just inside Canada.Action is required now, and buying pipelines and talking about emissions reductions is not the correct action.We need to listen to the scientists and implement recommendations, and if they are wrong the worst that can happen is we clean up our planet.
83	Kirsten Wright	Green Party of Canada	Waterloo	Yes	A bold response to the climate crisis, and the chance to implement a Green New Deal in Canada, is the reason that I decided to run and the center of our campaign. Responding decisively to the climate crisis, using the best science, is our one chance to build a leading economy and protect our communities.

I would champion the Green New Deal (GND), take risks, organize other MP, implement the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, advance policies put forward by communities, create jobs through mobilization, and base climate action plans on the best available science. That is the reason we are doing all of this.	Yes		Yes		Yes	With the sea level rises, storms, and droughts already locked in, some people will lose their homes. We will fight to make every place healthy and we will fight to get every person, every species, and every culture through this disruption. That means hosting migrants and making a better future together. It won't be easy, but we can come out stronger.	I'm running with the Green Party to be your MP for Waterloo. I came to this area twenty years ago to study engineering at the University of Waterloo and like my husband I fell in love with this area and have stayed ever since. I decided to run for political office because I don't think the system we have right now is working and I'm worried. I want a better future for my children. Like many people I came to the Green Party because I'm sick and tired of partisan politics. I want to focus on constructive solutions.Yes, I am an idealist but I'm also an engineer. When you're an engineer, you don'tjust hope things turn out for the best, you have to make a plan, work out the numbers, and implement your plan. I came to The Green Party because I knew they would fight for entrepreneurs and small businesses, invest in green energy and bring Waterloo made solutions to the world.My background in economics, engineering and business, along with the ten years I spent researching social innovation and democratic systems, will help me to find the best and simplest solutions so all Canadians can benefit. I will listen to you and hopefully we can put more money in everyone's pocket.We need to make smart choices so we can protect things like health care, education, policingand infrastructure. What's needed today is creative innovative solutions not cutting services or increasing taxes. People need not only jobs but a living wage. This country needs to work for everyone.Our party knows that decisive action on climate change is Canada's only way forward. The cost of the destruction of our environment is one we can't afford to pay. The clock is ticking and time is running out. Strong action to protect our environment is the only way forward for our children, for our planet, for our future.Green is the way to go. Join me in the fight. Vote Kirsten Wright on October 21st.

When thinking about the climate crisis, many Canadians feel despair. However, despair is only needed when the outcome has already been decided. We have an opportunity, at this election, to actively bring about hope for our future.I believe this because: 1) we have the solutions we need to address the climate crisis; 2) a small window of time still remains to fend off the worst results; and 3) Canada has great potential to affect positive change around the globe.This federal election matters. We need to elect representatives who are willing to do the hard work of steering our country to a green economy, with a long-term vision for the future. I am excited for this future - for what it will offer all Canadians, and for the opportunities it will afford our children, grandchildren, and future generations.	Yes		Yes		Yes
87	Laurel Collins	New Democratic Party	Victoria	Yes	We need to work together to tackle the climate crisis. As a city councillor, I am part of the non-partisan municipal Climate Caucus. I have experience working across party lines to push for bold climate action. I have also successfully pushed to make the City of Victoria's climate leadership plan more transparent and accountable.I also have experience working across sectors on climate leadership. I am one of the board members on the Green Municipal Fund Council, which provides funds to projects that accelerate the transition to resilient Canadian municipalities and that protect the climate through greenhouse gas reductions. The members of the GMF Council are leaders from the federal and municipal sectors, as well as the private, academic and environment sectors.And, as an MP I will cooperate for the climate. I will work collaboratively to develop a legislated, accountable framework for Canada to meet emissions targets in line with the most recent IPCC recommendations.	Yes	Yes, we need to be cutting Canada's emissions in half within 10 years. We also need to listen to the global scientific consensus in order to continually update our targets, and ensure we take the urgent action needed to limit warming to 1.5¬∞ and protect our planet.We need courageous action from our elected officials - we have to cut emissions way faster than the Liberals, who are only on track to meet their inadequate targets 200 years late.	Yes	Canadians are tired of Conservative and Liberal governments that are missing targets after targets. The NDP will legislate its science-based target and like other countries, we will establish an independent Climate Accountability Office to do regular audits of progress towards our climate goals, with a budget to share information about the importance of climate action with Canadians. Our plan will use the powers of the federal government to ensure that the provinces set and meet interim emissions reduction targets in the lead up to 2030 and 2050.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	I have been working for divestment, climate justice and a just transition for years. In 2015, I co-founded a local non-profit organization, Divest Victoria, which successfully pushed to have three motions passed at City Council, one at the Association of Vancouver Island Coastal Communities, and one at the the Union of BC Municipalities. We advocated for divestment from fossil fuels, a just transition for workers, and to listen to the communities most impacted by the climate crisis. I was subsequently elected to city council, and on council I have spoken and voted in favour of motions advocating against fossil fuel subsidies and supporting a just transition.Our New Deal for the Climate commits to massive investments in clean energy and infrastructure, in retraining for workers, and in rapidly transitioning to a low carbon reality. New Democrats know that a climate plan will be most effective if it addresses the interconnections between the climate crisis and inequality - ensuring marginalized communities, Canadian workers and distinct regions are not left behind. There are real solutions that invest in good jobs in all communities and rebuild local economies with meaningful, work in every part of the country, all while helping to make the changes we need to succeed in a low carbon future.An important part of our plan will include making sure that physical, digital and social infrastructure investments contribute to emissions reductions and benefit all regions and communities, especially those already experiencing the impacts of climate change, with the good, family-sustaining jobs they bring. Our plan will create at least 300,000 good jobs across the country in the next four years.A New Democrat government will work together with labour, employers, and the provinces and territories to find solutions for workers and communities in all impacted sectors, based on the recommendations of the Task Force on Just Transition for Canadian Coal Power Workers and Communities. New Democrats will put in place dedicated employment support combining access to expanded EI benefits, re-training and job placement services, paired with significant investments to create quality local jobs and support thriving communities. We will also vigorously defend pensions, so that workers can always count on the retirement security that they've earned, and make sure that workers who are close to the end of their careers have a bridge to a dignified retirement.Training for the future of work is also core to our approach, including expanded access to income supports, training and re-training for the new job market. New Democrats will set a national standard to ensure that Canadian employers continue to invest in training and employee development, and we'll work with the provinces to focus on training for sectors with the strongest job growth, in order to ensure that everyone has access to the skills and knowledge that will be in demand in a low-carbon future.New Democrats will also create a framework for enshrining Community Benefits Agreements in federally funded infrastructure projects, to make sure that public money is put to its best possible use creating local economic opportunities and building support from local communities for climate goals. This will go hand in hand with improving apprenticeship rates for skilled trades and putting supports in place so that women, racialized Canadians, Indigenous peoples, and other under-represented groups can more easily choose careers in the trades.	Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fully implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.	Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, a New Democrat government will fully implement the the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action. As an instructor at the University of Victoria, I include chapters from the Truth and Reconciliation Report as part of the course readings for my students, and I personally support the implementation of the 94 recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.	Yes	I did my Masters in Human Security and Peacebuilding, and part of my research focused on climate migration. I also worked with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Northern Uganda for my professional field placement, working to ensure internally displaced people were finding durable solutions. As a city councillor, I have pushed for our city to become more welcoming to refugees and newcomers, and supported motions to include creating a "Welcoming City Strategy" to promote inclusivity, understanding and collaboration across cultures in our strategic plan.Climate migration is already happening. And as we continue to see the increasing impacts of climate change, more and more of us will be impacted. We are also seeing a rise of right wing hate, violence and intolerance. We need to fight the climate crisis and intolerance together. We need to stand up against xenophobia and racism, and recognize that migrant justice and climate justice go hand in hand. We need to work together, instead of allowing fear or right-wing rhetoric to divide us. We have seen Yellow Vests and other right wing groups combine xenophobia and climate denial, and people who care about the climate need to join with allies to ensure our climate action is inclusive and anti-racist. Our New Deal for the Climate lays out a road map for tackling the climate crises with a plan that will make our economy and our society better for all.	New Democrats will work with Indigenous peoples to co-develop a National Action Plan for Reconciliation, drawing directly from the Calls to Action and the Declaration to ensure that Canada's laws, policies, and practices are consistent with Canada's human rights commitments ‚Äì including cultural rights, land rights, and rights to self-determination and self government. Through legislation, we will establish a National Council for Reconciliation to provide oversight and accountability for this process, reporting regularly to Parliament and Canadians. New Democrats will make all new buildings in Canada net-zero ready by 2030, and complete energy efficiency retrofits on all existing housing stock in Canada by 2050. We will get more zero emissions vehicles on the road, electrify our transit fleets by 2030, and work towards fare-free transit with interested municipalities. And we will eliminate fossil fuel subsidies immediately and get Canada powered by net carbon-free electricity by 2030. We'll also reform Export Development Canada's mandate to focus on providing support for Canadian sustainable energy projects, rather than the petroleum industry.

Yes		Yes		Yes	We have one of the greatest GHG footprints of any country so we have a responsibility
90	Leah Gazan	New Democratic Party	Winnipeg Centre	Yes		Yes	We are facing a climate emergency. The science is clear: we need to be cutting Canada's emissions roughly in half within 10 years. This means we need to immediately divest from the fossil fuel industry and use our resources a build a green economy that respects the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and brings workers along. We need to support climate science and take aggressive actions to limit warming to 1.5¬∞. This means shifting to green energy sources.	Yes	At a time where we are faced with the serious impacts of climate change, we must institute legislative accountability measures to ensure we reduce carbon emissions and meet climate targets.Based on climate science, I support the NDP's plan to legislate targets based on climate science, establishing an independent Climate Accountability Office to do regular audits of progress towards meeting climate goals, providing budget allocations to share information about the importance of climate action with Canadians, anduse federal powers to ensure all provinces set and meet emission reduction targets in the lead up of2030 and 2050.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	I support a Green New Deal that respects the minimum human rights standards contained in UNDRIP and supports a just transition that brings communities and families along.I do not believe that individuals love oil and gas. I believe that individuals love working, lifting themselves out of poverty, supporting their families, and being able to pay their bills.This is why a just transition is so important; a transition that is rooted in a respect for human rights. I support the platform of the New Democratic Party of Canada, which aims to transition into a green economy and reduce carbon emissions by investing training and the creation of 300,000 good jobs in communities.This platform is is focused on rebuilding local economies, providing meaningful employment, and ensuring individuals can support their families throughout Canada. This plan also includes investments in physical, digital and social infrastructure to contribute to a reduction in carbon emissions.	Yes	In partnership with Indigenous peoples, I support the New Democrat Parties plan to fully adopt and implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.	Yes	I support the full implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action and to heed the call to use UNDRIP as the framework of reconciliation.	Yes	It is becoming clear that Canada needs to amend legislation impacting immigrants and refugees to accommodate individuals coming into Canada as a result of the climate crisis. I commit to advocating for changes in legislation to accommodate this growing need.	I stand on my record as a long-time climate justice, Indigenous rights, and human rights advocate to continue being a strong voice for our climate, social justice, and ensuring a just transition that respects the UNDRIP.It is for these reasons that I choose to run. This is a critical time in history and our very survival depends on the kinds of decisions being made by governments. It is time we divest from corporate welfare and reinvest in people and the environment.It is with this in mind that I decided to put my name forward to run for office. I hope to be privileged with this opportunity.
91	Lenore Zann	Liberal Party of Canada	Cumberland Colchester	Yes		Yes		Yes		A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	The time for talking about it is over. The time for action is upon us.	Yes	I have personally introduced such a bill in my role as an MLA in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly.	Yes	I have also introduced a bill supporting the implementation of all the provincial recommendations.	Yes		As a provincial MLA in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly for the past decade (2009-2019) I have introduced many bills as a member of the NDP Caucus in order to protect the Environment, prevent and mitigate Climate Change, and support the TRC report.My Private Members Bill #111 An Act to Address Environmental Racism has received wide public support and been recognized the first if its kind in North America.I believe in working across party lines in order to create a "coalition of the willing" who will take the necessary steps to create legislation to address and mitigate the Climate Crisis we are facing which will only get worse if action isn't taken. And in fact I have decided to "put my money where my mouth is" by switching from provincial NDP member to run federally for the Liberal Party of Canada since that is the ONLY way Andrew Scheer's Conservatives can be beaten in Cumberland-Colchester since it is a traditionally Conservative riding with polls clear that the battle is between the Libs & Cons..I guarantee that if elected MP on Oct 21 I will continue to stand up for Mother Earth and her creatures large and small, on land, in the sky, in the sea, lakes & rivers.We only have one planet. And if we don't soon convince governments, corporations and individuals to protect our precious "natural resources" like water, trees, air, soil, seeds, pollinators, and other creatures that are part of our fragile ecosystems, it will be game over for all of us.Thank you for the great work your organizationdoes. I've been a follower for some time now. Please help carry the urgency of this matter not only to decision-makers but to the average person as it's going to take a gargantuan effort by ALL of us to prevent this ship from sinking.In Eco-SolidarityLenore Zann, MLATruro, Nova Scotia and Cumberland Colchester Liberal candidate
92	Les Schram	Green Party of Canada	Ottawa South	Yes		Yes		Yes		A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.		Yes		Yes		Yes
93	Lil MacPherson	Green Party of Canada	Dartmouth-Cole Harbour	Yes		Yes	A Green government would pass into law a Climate Change Act requiring a 60% cut in climate-changing emissions below 2005 levels by 2030, and reach net zero in 2050.Interim targets would be set in five-year intervals beginning with 2025.	Yes		A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	The Green Party is committed to a "just transition" of workers from these sectors into new ones. This would include measures such as income protection, jobs guarantees, retraining, and resettlement.	Yes	In order to wholly implement the articles, a Green government would remove all the obstacles within the judicial, legislative and executive branches of government.	Yes		Yes	As a Green MP, I would lead a national discussion to define 'environmental refugee' and advocate for its inclusion as a refugee category in Canada and accept an appropriate share of the world's environmental refugees into Canada.	Canada has a huge opportunity to become a world leader in reversing climate change through regenerative agriculture practices.We need a food systems revolution.
94	Lloyd Longfield	Liberal Party of Canada	Guelph	Yes	Im proud to represent a riding where collaboration (across party lines and levels of government) is the expectation from the constituents that we all represent.¬†Earlier this year students from Guelph's community environmental leadership program held a town hall in Guelph with Mayor Cam Guthrie, MPP Mike Schreiner¬†and me to talk about the climate crisis and the role each level of government can play.¬†¬†If re-elected, I will continue to bring the same collaborative approach to my work in Ottawa.	Yes	Earlier this year a I was proud to second a private member's bill in the House of Commons that would commit Canada to effectively eliminate national greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.¬†The Liberal Government has made meaningful progress towards its 2030 goal, such as by putting a price on carbon, our planning to phase out of coal-fired plants, and establishing the clean fuel standard.	Yes	Earlier this year, our Environment Minister, Catherine McKenna, announced that the Liberal Government is moving forward on our commitment to create the new and independent climate institute which represents more than fifteen organizations across Canada.¬†Together, they will establish an institute that is independent of the government and focused on clean growth and climate change.¬†¬†We have committed up to $20 million over the next five years to implement this institute's vision.¬†As with any legislation that is brought forward to the House of Commons, I will review this proposal and consult with constituents and local stakeholders to ensure that I am representing my constituents in Guelph.¬†	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.		Yes	I was honoured to speak in the House of Commons in support of Bill C-262, an act to ensure that the laws of Canada in harmony with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.¬†¬†It is shameful that Conservatives in the Senate actively blocked this private member's bill from passing.¬†¬†Prime Minister Trudeau and the Liberal Party are adamant that if re-elected we will re-introduce a government bill to legislate UNDRIP.¬†I fully support this approach.¬†	Yes	Our Government is committed to implementing the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.¬†¬†I encourage all constituents in Guelph to visit the Government of Canada website "Delivering on Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action" which details the 94 recommendations and the progress that we as a Government have made:¬†https://www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/1524494530110/1557511412801Since 2015, there has been meaningful progress but work continues within the Government of Canada to advance the calls to action.	Yes	Best estimates suggest that hundreds of millions of people could be displaced in the coming decades due to the impacts of climate change.¬†¬†Canada's immigration system is heralded around the world and we have been a leader in supporting the most vulnerable.¬†In 2018, Canada admitted the largest number of refugees of any country in the world.¬†¬†We also had the second highest rate of refugees who gained citizenship.¬†Canada has been recognized as leader not just on welcoming refugees but providing opportunities for them to thrive once they arrive in Canada.¬†¬†	I'm very proud of our Liberal Government's establishment of the zero-emission vehicle rebate.¬†¬†Having served for the last year and a half as the Co-Chair of the Government Auto Caucus, I spoke with transportation experts, electric vehicle owners, and car dealers here in Guelph and across Canada about the barriers to the greater use of zero-emission vehicles.¬†Sales of electric vehicles plummeted after Doug Ford cancelled Ontario's rebate.¬†¬†We asked transportation experts, electric car owners, and dealers what it would take to help drive sales and encourage Canadians to purchase zero-emission vehicles.¬†They told me a rebate of approximately $5,000 would make a major impact.¬†Budget 2019 provided $130 million to expand the network of zero-emission vehicle charging and refuelling stations and launched the zero-emission vehicle rebates. More than 14,000 purchases or leases have been made through the Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles program, which launched three months ago.
95	Lori Campbell	New Democratic Party	Waterloo	Yes	The climate crisis is real and all parties should be making it a priority, including working together to find sustainable solutions.	Yes		Yes	We would create a Climate Accountability Office that would perform regular audits on Canada's progress toward the goal of about 50% to ensure that targets are being met.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	I believe all three of the points mentioned above go hand-in-hand in order to save Mother Earth and those of us that live within her ecosystem.	Yes	Absolutely! I was extremely supportive of MP Saganash's Bill C-262 and worked very hard to lobby friends, colleagues, Canadians, and government leaders to pass the bill and, as a Canadian citizen and a Cree-Metis person, I felt completely let down by the ways in which delays were implemented in order to have the bill sit on the table at the end of the day.	Yes	I am so glad you have these questions on this survey! I have worked in my professional and personal circles to find ways to implement the 94 calls to action. I do this through public lectures, classroom lectures, workshops, providing strategic guidance to institutions, and many other ways.As well, I believe that we need to answer the Calls to Justice as set out in the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and LGBTQ2s+ report.	Yes
96	Lorraine Rekmans	Green Party of Canada	Leeds Grenville Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes	Yes		Yes		Yes		A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	Complete support for workers in transition to ease their entry into sustainable jobs in new green energy.	Yes		Yes		Yes		Canada can become a more environmentally responsible leader in a more sustainable and just society.
97	Macarena Diab	Green Party of Canada	Louis Heber	Yes		Yes		Yes		A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.		Yes		Yes		Yes
98	Mackenzie Kerr	Green Party of Canada	Cariboo-Prince George	Yes		Yes	Yes! The green party thinks we need 60% by 2030 and 0% by 2050!	Yes	I would be interested to learn more but with the information given, yes. Politicians have spoken a lot about it but they need to be held accountable to prioritize climate action.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	Yes! These are all things that align with the Green party that we have been advocating for. I believe ending subsidies to the fossil fuel industry is one of the biggest ways we can kick start a new economy and retraining is of utmost importance.	Yes	Yes, the Party is in fully support of this.	Yes	Yes we want to fully implement the calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the calls of the report from the Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. Living on the Highway of Tears and witnessing the Red Dress campaign in my community has opened my eyes to this issue.	Yes	Yes, I believe we need to define climate refugees and add them as a category under the law. We should be accepting an appropriate share of people that are displaced because of climate change and realizing this is going to be an increasing reality very soon.	I believe this transition to a new economy and real revolution that is beginning needs to be intersectional. Without consulting and including everyone, we will end up with the same system we have now that is not equitable or just for the majority and benefits a few at the top. I am passionate about climate action and believe young people like myself should be empowered in their communities to create the change we need. That's why it's time to vote green.
99	Madeleine Sauvé	New Democratic Party	Abbotsford	Yes	Climate justice is a non-partisan issue that has not received the urgent commitment of governments.	Yes	Planning to reduce emissions and provide green energy infrastructure is over-due.		I need more information on this.	A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	Complete divestment from fossil fuel production makes people fearful. People deserve reassurances through a science-based plan, that will outline how we can evolve beyond our fossil-fuel reliance. Workers, rural communities and established industry must be supported beyond retraining. Labour unions, researchers, employers, workers and government need to work together to include workers in practical transitions that suit workers of all ages.	Yes	UNDRIP is a powerful guide to justice for Canada's dark past.	Yes		Yes	Refugees make an enormous positive contribution to Canada. This country was built on the courage, hard work and big hearts of people from all over the world.	Climate action requires a ground up pressure on leaders to act. We can all make choices that make taking care of the planet a priority. Supporting a candidate that takes the climate emergency seriously is one of those choices. Please talk about taking Climate Action together and VOTE together!
100	Marc Reinarz	Green Party of Canada	North Okanagan - Shuswap	Yes		Yes	... and sooner if workable.	Yes		A complete divestment of federal fossil fuel subsidies alongside investments in clean energy projects (while ensuring that northern and remote communities are provided assistance to transition to clean energy sources)	The creation of 1 million jobs in clean energy, climate mitigation and decarbonisation across sectors: energy, housing, transportation, agriculture, etc.	Measures to meet the needs of those communities expected to be most impacted by climate change and the transition like publicly funded worker retraining programs.	In addition I include the protection of water sources, provide clean drinking water without chlorination for all Canadians...	Yes		Yes		Yes		Accomplish all the above while working across party-lines to set a planned transition with binding time-lines.We also need to make any agreement , legislation stand up so it will not be undone by a subsequent government.
