Canadian Government and Senate Fighting About Kyoto
The Canadian Senate recently passed a bill that forces Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his government to meet their Kyoto Protocol duties.
“Obviously this government isn’t going to implement any measures that would do severe damage to Canadian jobs or to the Canadian economy,” Harper told reporters at the close of the spring parliamentary session.”We will continue implementing our (own) national system of regulations.”
While the current government in power is Conservative, the Liberal-dominated senate passed the bill by a vote of 53-20, meaning Canada must “meet its global climate change obligations under the Kyoto Protocol.”
Passing this bill may become problematic and troublesome for the inner workings of the government — and not just because the House and the Senate don’t see eye-to-eye.
