NDP Environment Critic Peter Tabuns today slammed the McGuinty government for its continuing failure to present a comprehensive climate change plan.

“Another Earth Day has come and Dalton McGuinty still does not have a meaningful climate change plan for Ontario,” said Tabuns.

“We see cheap stunts, plenty of photo-ops and much self-congratulation, but all that doesn’t add up to a plan. What we have seen from the McGuinty government is a climate change sham.”

The NDP is demanding the government provide Ontarians with a detailed and full-funded climate change plan.

“Ontarians are looking for immediate and decisive action on climate change, but this government is making them wait. Where’s the detailed plan to reduce greenhouse gases and where’s the money to fund it?” asked Tabuns.

The McGuinty government threw in the towel on meeting its Kyoto target and replaced it with a weaker target of six per cent below 1990 levels by the end of 2014.

“Ontario should be moving forward, not backward on climate change. Unfortunately, even on Earth Day, Dalton McGuinty just doesn’t get it,” said Tabuns.
