Bill C-12 promises to lock in Canada’s path to net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050 — complete with interim targets, reporting mechanisms and expert advice. On one hand, it gives hope for long-term climate accountability. On the other hand, it raises serious questions: about enforceability, democratic oversight, Indigenous rights and the means by which the government will meet those goals. Canadians should read it, ask questions, and demand clarity.
