Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis is questioning the federal government’s bid to have the World Health Organization (WHO) include climate change in its definition of a pandemic emergency.

“As countries prepare to finalize the WHO Global Pandemic Accord in May, the Liberals have been lobbying the WHO to include climate change in the definition of a pandemic emergency,” Ms. Lewis said in a Jan. 8 post on X (formerly Twitter).
