IGNATIEFF VEUT RÉTABLIR LA RÉPUTATION DU CANADA (Le Soleil, 27 novembre 2009)

IGNATIEFF BACKS CAP-AND-TRADE (Halifax Chronicle-Herald, November 27, 2009)

CANADA SHOULD SET UP CAP-AND-TRADE SYSTEM BEFORE U.S., IGNATIEFF SAYS (St. John’s Telegram, November 27, 2009)

“Il n’y a pas de solutions magiques en matière de lutte aux changements climatiques. Il y a toute une panoplie de mesures. M. Ignatieff en a présenté plusieurs qu’on juge intéressantes… c’est un pas dans la bonne direction.” (Steven Guilbeault, Le Soleil, 27 novembre 2009)

“Ignatieff put a lot of daylight between himself and the Conservatives with the content and framing of economy and environment ‘hand in hand’.” (Tzeporah Berman, Zero Carbon Canada, November 26, 2009)

“Équiterre salue particulièrement la volonté du Parti libéral d’utiliser l’année de référence 1990, «pour ne pas pénaliser ceux qui ont pris de l’avance comme le Québec et le Manitoba», contrairement au gouvernement conservateur qui s’entête toujours à utiliser l’année de référence 2006.” (Équiterre.org, 26 novembre 2009)

“[Michael Ignatieff] unveiled his most detailed plan yet for addressing climate change… [He] promised to quadruple investment in renewables, encourage energy efficiency, toughen building codes and support sustainable transportation such as high-speed rail.” (Susan Riley, Ottawa Citizen, November 27, 2009)

“Équiterre partage la vision de Monsieur Ignatieff sur le fait que le Canada doit se démarquer sur la scène internationale dans l’aide apportée aux pays du Sud dans le domaine de l’adaptation aux changements climatiques.” (Équiterre, 26 novembre 2009)

“Significant daylight is starting to show between the federal Liberals and the Harper government on the environment. With his second major environmental speech today (the first was in Vancouver some weeks ago), Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff continued to flesh out how his party would do things differently.” (Matt Price, Environmental Defence Canada, November 26, 2009)

“Pour Équiterre, la proposition de mettre en place une cible contraignante de réduction de gaz à effet de serre pour le Canada «semblable à celles de la moyenne des pays développés» (-16% à – 23%) est déjà mieux que la proposition des conservateurs (-3%).” (Équiterre, 26 novembre 2009)

“[Michael Ignatieff's] proposals are more aligned with the existing and emerging plans in the US. Notably in the surge on clean energy and clean tech.” (Tzeporah Berman, Zero Carbon Canada, November 26, 2009)
