May: Greens will vote against Liberal throne speech unless carbon targets toughened

May emerged from the morning meeting saying she invoked the names of Trudeau's three children in her push for a more aggressive approach to fighting climate change."I was very clear with him. This is about whether Ella Grace and Hadrien and Xavier are going to have a livable world by the time they're adults. This is not impersonal, this is real, it's personal and it's a question of moral courage.

"We could never vote confidence in a government that was pursuing pipelines and increasing greenhouse gases," she said. As part of the 2015 Paris agreement, Canada committed to reducing its annual greenhouse gas emissions to 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. Attending would be difficult for Trudeau because the summit takes place as the Commons begins sitting again Dec. 5, with a throne speech that will lay out his general plans for governing. The UN gathering -- the 25th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, or "COP25" for short -- runs from Dec. 2 to 13.

Trudeau also promised to bring new legislation to harmonize federal laws with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples , addressing a key Green request, and to stave off the loss of abortion services in New Brunswick, May said. The Greens elected more MPs in the October vote than they've ever had, but remain the only party in the Commons that doesn't have the numbers to give Trudeau's Liberals a win by voting with the government if all the other parties don't.
