Episode 10: Canada's Climate Commitments; Alberta's Bill 24; Offshore Tax Havens

from The West Block · host Global News / Curiouscast

We begin the show this week with Canada's climate commitments and whether or not we are meeting our greenhouse gas emissions targets.  Then, Alberta politicians on the right and left are deeply divided over Bill 24, a bill that prevents teachers from telling parents if their child is a member of a gay straight alliance club, what happens now?  And, the fallout continues from the Paradise Papers showing who and how much taxes are being avoided by those using offshore tax havens, does the government have enough tools to put an end to this and will they disclose their findings following investigations? Guests: Catherine McKenna, Environment Minister; Jason Kenney, United Conservative Party Leader, Carla Qualtrough, Public Services and Procurement Minister Learn more about your ad choices.
