    B.C. Today – Daily Report September 10, 2019 Quotation of the day “We are not the concerned environmental stewards that we think we are, ​ and it is because we have had governments that fail to regulate industry and fail to implement a vision for a new, green economy rooted in sustainable practices.” ​ B.C. Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver reacts to provincial statistics showing B.C.’s 2017 ​ ​ greenhouse gas emissions were just two per cent lower than 2007. Today in B.C. B.C.’s 2017 greenhouse gas emissions slightly higher than 2016: environment ministry Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in British Columbia have barely decreased from 2007 levels despite a decade of government efforts to fight climate change. The province’s 2017 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were only two per cent lower than 2007 levels, and were 1.2 per cent higher than the province’s 2016 emissions, according to data released Monday by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy through its provincial GHG inventory. ​ The province’s total emissions in 2017 were 64.5 million tonnes (Mt). After accounting for one million tonnes of carbon offsets from forest management projects, provincial net emissions were 63.5 Mt. Over the past decade, B.C. has managed to reduce its emissions by less than half a per cent, according to the inventory, and the three-year trend from 2015 through 2017 shows an emission increase of 2.4 per cent. B.C. introduced the first broad-based carbon tax in North America in 2008, and last year the government's CleanBC climate plan said the province intends to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent by 2030.

    B.C. Today – Daily Report March 26, 2019 Quotation of the day “It’s about cake and eating it too. It’s about credibility.” Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver called the NDP government’s commitment to developing ​ ​ B.C.’s liquid natural gas industry a “generational sell-out” that will boost greenhouse emissions. Today in B.C. On the schedule The House will convene at 10 a.m. for question period. Monday’s debates and proceedings Environment and Climate Change Strategy Minister George Heyman introduced Bill 16, ​ ​ ​ ​ Protected Areas of British Columbia Amendment Act. If passed, the legislation will expand six Class A parks in the province and rename several others with traditional Indigenous names. ​ ​ Finance Minister Carole James introduced Bill 10, Income Tax Amendment Act, which, if ​ ​ ​ ​ passed, will finalize B.C.’s pro-LNG fiscal framework. (More on this below.) First reading of Bill 10 passed on division with the support of 80 NDP and Liberal MLAs and the ​ ​ opposition of the three-member Green Party caucus. Two government bills were given second reading and referred to committee: ● Bill 14, Heritage Conservation Amendment Act, which would enhance protections for ​ areas of heritage and archaeological value in B.C.; and ● Bill 7, Business Practices and Consumer Protection Amendment Act, which would ​ strengthen consumer protections for British Columbians who use payday loans. MLAs spent the remainder of the afternoon at second-reading debate on Bill 11, Civil Forfeiture ​ ​ Amendment Act, which would enhance the ability of the province’s civil forfeiture office to trace, preserve and forfeit the proceeds of crime.
