Talking points to include in your message:
- Hi my name is [name], and I'm a constituent in your riding.
- I am calling to urge you to vote for critical amendments to strengthen Bill C-12 and to ensure it is based in science, puts communities and workers first, and creates true government accountability. This is a once in a life-time legislation but without amendments it will fail to meet the climate crisis at the scale science says is required.
- The three key amendments I’m asking you to support are:
- Set the first emissions target for 2025 now and ban fossil fuel executives from the advisory panel.
- Bill C-12 should be aligned with UNDRIP and set targets for job creation to ensure a just transition for all workers.
- Set clear, unconditional obligations on the Minister of Environment to actually meet targets.
- We all want a livable future and this Bill gives us a chance to make it happen. I will be following up to see if you supported amendments to make Bill C-12 a world class climate law.
