Description
The Third Session of the Thirty-eighth Parliament commenced on the afternoon of February 13, 2007 with reading of the Speech from the Throne by Lieutenant Governor Iona Campagnolo. Building upon the government's previous commitments to the "Five Great Goals for a Golden Decade," the government's agenda proposed programs to promote partnerships with First Nations; to address global warming and urban sprawl; to increase available affordable housing; to improve quality, choice and accountability within the health and education systems; and to further open Canada's Pacific Gateway. The government's commitment to implement tangible solutions to address climate change has been lauded both domestically and internationally. Environmental initiatives announced in the Throne Speech include reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 90 percent of 1990 levels by 2020; incentives for clean energy production; tailpipe emission standards for all new vehicles sold; rebates for consumers electing to purchase hybrid vehicles; and a commitment to make the government of B.C. carbon-neutral by 2010.
