Trudeau, first ministers meet Monday ahead of UN climate talks
Sensing a meaningful change in attitude in Ottawa, a number of Canada's premiers say they're looking forward to meeting tomorrow with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The focus of the meeting will be on climate change.
Trudeau is hoping to reach agreement with his provincial and territorial counterparts on a national plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions before he heads to a major international climate change summit in Paris.
The United Nations climate conference, known as COP21, begins Nov. 30 and the goal is to achieve a framework agreement on reducing emissions among all countries in the world.
B.C. Premier Christy Clark has said she expects the leaders will work on a national climate strategy in advance of the talks in Paris. Clark said she will be touting B.C.'s carbon tax, which she calls a world-leading weapon against global warming.
The premiers will also discuss how both levels of government can work in concert with municipalities to bring in refugees from the crisis engulfing Syria and northern Iraq.
