Jerry DeMarco, Canada's commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development, speaks at a press conference on Nov. 25, 2021, ahead of tabling his report in the House of Commons. It found that despite three decades of federal governments committing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, emissions have increase by more than 20 per cent since 1990. “Canada was once a leader in the fight against climate change.
