Jack Layton dedicates new climate law (C-377) to SYC!
By: System Administrator on: Mon 09 of Jun, 2008 [22:08 UTC] (525 reads)

Big news last week: great www.youtube.com footage below!

The House of Commons voted into law the first binding, science-based GHG reduction targets in the world effective post-Kyoto.

While the Conservatives were filibustering bill-377 last month, members of the Sierra Youth Coalition rallied at the Committee hearings on three different occasions to witness the shameful behavior. Our final action was to stage an all-night filibuster sleepover at parliament, which received much publicity and contributed to the Conservatives' sudden change in strategy.

In order to thank SYC for its contribution to the process,
Jack Layton dedicated the new law to the Sierra Youth Coalition in a ceremony last week.
