Jack Layton congratulates Sierra youth

The House of Commons voted into law the first binding, science-based GHG
reduction targets in the world effective post-Kyoto.

While the Conservatives were filibustering bill-377 last month, members of
the Sierra Youth Coalition rallied at the Committee hearings on three
different occasions to witness the shameful behavior. Our final action was
to stage an all-night filibuster sleepover at parliament, which received
much publicity and contributed to the Conservatives’ sudden change in
strategy.

In order to thank SYC for its contribution to the process,
Jack Layton dedicated the new law to the Sierra Youth Coalition in a
ceremony last week.
