Carney's Climate Policy Disappoints Advisors

Catherine Abreu and Simon Donner, co-founders of Canada's Net-Zero Advisory Body, resigned in December and testified before a parliamentary committee, expressing disappointment in Prime Minister Mark Carney's climate action. They accused the Mark Carney government of not seeking their advice on key policy decisions, including the Alberta energy deal and a major projects bill. Mark Carney has been criticized for repealing the consumer carbon price, making the industrial carbon price more lenient, and expanding fossil fuel subsidies. These actions led to Steven Guilbeault's resignation from cabinet and his intention to resign as an MP. During the committee meeting, Liberal MP Bruce Fanjoy was accused of filibustering to prevent unflattering testimony, drawing criticism from Conservative MP Branden Leslie and Bloc Québécois MP Patrick Bonin.
