Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer won’t vote for a Liberal government motion to be tabled today on declaring a “national climate emergency” without amendments from his party that acknowledge the “global context” of emissions.

Speaking to reporters after today’s weekly caucus meeting, Scheer accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of not individually acting like climate change is indeed an emergency.

“Justin Trudeau is a high carbon hypocrite,” he said, “Flying to Tofino on a private jet for a vacation, flying to and from Florida four times in three days, to come back from his vacation for an Instagram photo op, are not the actions of someone who thinks that there is a climate change emergency.”

Scheer said an amendment, which will be proposed tomorrow, will also point out the Liberals are “falling further and further away from his own targets.”

Environment Minister Catherine McKenna has put forward a motion, to be debated this evening, that asks the House of Commons to “declare that Canada is in a national climate emergency” thus requiring that the country “commit to meeting its national emissions target under the Paris Agreement.”

The motion appears to be directly targeted toward the Scheer Conservatives, who have been ambivalent as to whether it supports committing to meeting the Paris targets or take tackling climate change seriously.

The NDP have also put forward a similar motion, except it asks for Ottawa to not proceed with the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

Canada has committed to the 2015 Paris accord’s objective of holding global warming below 2 C under pre-industrial levels. Under the agreement, Canada has committed to reducing its GHG emissions by 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 — targets set by the previous Harper government and adopted by the current Trudeau Liberals.

The current government is on track to reduce emissions in Canada but not meet such targets.

Scheer said today that his environment plan, expected to be unveiled before the end of June, will give Canada the “best chance of reaching those targets.”

“As I said, our plan will be based on those targets,” the Tory leader said. “Those targets we agreed to in the House of Commons, not just in this Parliament, but the targets that the previous Conservative government set. Our plan will give Canadians the best chance of reaching those targets.”

Scheer told CTV’s Question Period a year ago that the Conservatives’ climate plan would “of course” meeting the 2030 Paris targets, but told the same show in December that his plan would have “meaningful reductions.”

The Conservative leader is expected to unveil his party’s much-anticipated climate plan in an upcoming policy speech, part of series that will layout his platform for the 2019 federal election. Tomorrow, he will present a speech in Toronto about plans for the economy, titled “Limited Government, Unlimited Potential.”

At the very least, it will not be including carbon pricing, the controversial Liberal policy measure meant to tax carbon emissions in order to incentivize Canadians and business towards greener options.

Scheer also accused the Liberals today of wasting precious time in the House, with less than five sitting weeks left for Parliament, in order to score political points.

“We’re in the dying days of a scandal-plagued Liberal government and they’re using precious House time on a symbolic gesture rather than taking real action,” he said, who added that it serves as a distraction from recent controversies such as the SNC-Lavalin and Mark Norman affairs.

McKenna told reporters this morning that the motion was brought forward because parliamentarians “need to have a discussion around the science of climate change,” as shown by a recent federal report that shows Canada is warming at twice the international average.

The federal minister also criticized Scheer for lacking a climate plan and misleading Canadians on the cost of carbon pricing, which returns most of the revenues back to households.

“He’s meeting with oil lobbyists and he’s committed to making it free to pollute, but also misleading their constituents,” she said.
