Carney’s budget ‘fails to address’ deficits: Green leader

We're profoundly disappointed. This budget does not meet the moment. It fails to address the fiscal deficit. It fails to address the ecological deficit. I'm not sure which offense is worse. This is the first time I've seen a budget from the government of Canada. Since, I'd have to say, since Kyoto in 1997, that explicitly rejects the concept of targets for climate action. On page seven, so you don't have to go far into the budget to find the first place where it says, for too long, Canadian, Canada's governments have been driven by targets and not their four-pillared plan. The reason we're driven by targets is that under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, those targets are legally binding. And up until this government, and even including under Prime Minister Carney last year, they stated a commitment to meet our Paris objectives. I appreciate the opportunity to make it very clear that net zero by 2050 is not part of the Paris Agreement.
