Following the Paris climate summit last year -- and an ambitious 1.5 degree target to limit global warming -- the Trudeau government promised a First Ministers meeting within 90 days. Marc Lee joins us to discuss the outcome of that meeting, the road ahead for climate policy in Canada, and the issue of fossil fuel divestment and "stranded assets."
Marc Lee is a CCPA Senior Economist and Co-Director of the Climate Justice Project.
In an extended interview, Scott Sinclair discusses the implications of the Trans-Pacific Partnership for the Canadian economy, jobs, and the dairy and auto sectors. Scott also breaks down the flawed assumptions of some economic modelling used to support the case for deals like the TPP.
Scott Sinclair is the Director of the CCPA's Trade and Investment Research Project.
