"SNIP.....

Canada's new environment minister says his past as an activist should not raise alarms in the energy industry or the office of Alberta's premier.

"I don't have a secret agenda as environment minister," Steven Guilbeault said today after the first meeting in Ottawa of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's new cabinet. "It's a government effort to tackle … what many consider one of humanity's greatest challenges, which is climate change."

Guilbeault said the government's plan to fight climate change is "very clear" and most of it — such as carbon pricing and the push for more public transit and cleaner energy sources — is "already known."

The Trudeau government has committed to cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 45 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.

They don't want any competition from other ministers as THEY go about their secret, selfish agendas.
