Madam Speaker, I rise to present a petition signed by people in Vancouver Kingsway and all over the Lower Mainland of British Columbia who are profoundly concerned about the climate crisis. They understand and want the House to know that they view the climate crisis as an existential issue that requires a top-priority response from governments across the world, and particularly from this one.
They are calling on the government to adopt a number of measures, including meeting the targets of reducing emissions by at least 60% below 2005 levels, assisting the global south, and making sure we have a just transition program to ensure that, as we move to a low-carbon economy, there are good, family-sustaining jobs for all workers, particularly those who will be displaced as we make that necessary transition to save our planet.
