  • Catholic Voice †
    CATHOLIC VOICE † Responses of: • James Arruda (Green Party, Willowdale) • Akil Sadikali (NDP, Don Valley North) • Yasmin Ratansi (Liberal, Don Valley East) • Rob Oliphant (Liberal, Don Valley West) To questions of Catholic Voice; forum of 13 September 2015 at St Bonaventure Church, Leslie Street, Toronto. =========== The Common Good =========== THE ENVIRONMENT: 8.1 There is general consensus among the credible scientific community that climate change has reached the point of crisis. What steps does your party propose to take in order to combat climate change ? ROB OLIPHANT, LIBERAL, DON VALLEY WEST I think is the most important question we are facing in this world. I commend the Catholic Community. The Papal Encyclical ,“Laudato Si”, is one of the most far reaching, not only for me in the faith organization, but for the whole civil society to look at issues of consumerism, pollution, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, and our lifestyle. It is a brilliant document that guides us very profoundly around the world. What it says is that the planet earth needs to be cared for in a way that we are not caring for it. The Liberal Party has submitted a number of platform issues, a 30 page document, re reducing greenhouse gases and preparing for the conference in Paris, in a way that brings people together and reaffirms Canada’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gases. We don’t do this alone. As a Federal Government, what we need to do is to bring together the Provinces and municipalities to look at what is an appropriate price on carbon, and move ahead to say that the climate change issue is one of our number one issues.
