A key part of positioning New Brunswick as a leader in job creation and economic development means ensuring we do our part to effectively combat climate change.
That’s according to Environment and Local Government Minister Brian Kenny.
Eight MLAs are on a new select committee tasked with developing a stronger response to climate change.
They will plan how to address the opportunities and impacts associated with fighting climate change in a way that still respects the province’s distinct economic challenges.
The all party committee will be consulting with the public and stakeholders on options to strengthen New Brunswick’s response.
Kenny says this new plan will provide a list of actions that will allow continued economic growth while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Members of the committee are:
- Carleton-Victoria MLA Andrew Harvey;
- Memramcook-Tantramar MLA Bernard LeBlanc;
- Moncton East MLA Monique LeBlanc;
- Charlotte-Campobello MLA John Ames;
- Shippagan-Lamèque-Miscou MLA Wilfred Roussel;
- Oromocto- Lincoln MLA Jody Carr;
- Albert MLA Brian Keirstead; and
- Fredericton South MLA David Coon.
