But the IPCC has also said global carbon pollution has to plummet to 45 per cent below 2010 levels by 2030. Meanwhile, a recent United Nations emissions-gap report said Canada s emissions in 2030 would actually be 15 per cent above its official reduction target.

Another recent report by the Global Carbon Project has also found carbon pollution has actually been rising globally, not falling, since the Paris climate accord, and is expected to go up again by 0.6 per cent in 2019.

The Governor General also said the government will continue to lead in ensuring a price on pollution everywhere in this country, working with partners to further reduce emissions.

Environment and Climate Change Minister Jonathan Wilkinson told The Canadian Press on Wednesday that the Liberals would put off making a decision on where the carbon price would go beyond $50 a tonne for at least another two years.

He said his first priority would be figuring out how Canada will meet its current target under the Paris agreement of 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. He will then figure out a new, tougher emissions-reduction target in time for the next United Nations climate change conference in late 2020.

The Trudeau government will move forward with its other election promises of protecting 25 per cent of Canada s land and 25 per cent of Canada s oceans by 2025, as well as planting two billion trees Payette said.

It will also continue efforts to reduce plastic pollution, which would build on the government s promise in 2019 to ban single-use plastics by 2021 and move toward implementing a zero plastic waste strategy.

In addition, the government committed to providing help for people displaced by climate-related disasters," another campaign promise.

Finally, the government will introduce measures to build clean, efficient and affordable communities, help make energy-efficient homes more affordable, make it easier for people to buy zero-emission vehicles like electric cars and work to make clean, affordable power available in every Canadian community, Payette said.

And while the government takes strong action to fight climate change, it will also work just as hard to get Canadian resources to new markets, and offer unwavering support to the hard-working women and men in Canada s natural-resources sectors, many of whom have faced tough times recently.

While Blanchet signalled the Bloc's tentative endorsement, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer emerged saying Conservatives were very disappointed and would be moving an amendment on Friday that he said would highlight gaps in the government's priorities.

There was nothing about our energy workers in Alberta and Saskatchewan in the throne speech, Scheer said, despite Payette s line about getting Canadian resources to new markets.

Today's throne speech was, I believe, an insult to the people of Alberta and Saskatchewan for not recognizing the anger and resentment that exists there, Scheer said.

He did, however, allow that the government s commitment to working with businesses to make Canada the best place to start and grow a clean-technology company was a worthwhile endeavour.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said he didn't want to put Canada back into an election, but "at this point in time, we are not satisfied.

We need real action on fighting the climate crisis, Singh said, but it was not what he heard in the speech. I want government to work for people, and I want to solve the problems that people have told me about.

The Green party's interim leader, Jo-Ann Roberts, said the speech contained "no surprises" and the party was "disappointed by the lack of specifics and timelines in many areas."

"While the Green party applauds the government for acknowledging the call by Canadians to address issues like climate change, health care, housing affordability and Indigenous rights, we are disappointed in the lack of urgency demonstrated in the absence of details."
