Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the Liberal government is “bending the emission curve” through its climate policies despite the federal environment commissioner criticizing Ottawa over its lack of tracking how much current greenhouse gas regulations are actually reducing emissions.

Speaking to reporters in Ottawa on April 20, Guilbeault pointed to a number of environmental initiatives being carried out by the government en route to its target of hitting net-zero emissions by 2050.
