Requesting Federal Government Support for MM6.13 “A Clean Energy Future for Toronto” – by Councillor Paula Fletcher, seconded by Councillor Alejandra Bravo – Toronto
June 14, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 5:00 pm
At its May 10, 11 and 12, 2023 meeting, City Council adopted “A Clean Energy Future for Toronto” which expressed City Council’s objection to any increase in the burning of fossil fuels in the City. Spurred on by a Provincial proposal to increase emissions at the Portlands Energy Centre, this Motion underlined the commitment of the City to its climate goals.
The Provincial Government then announced that their interpretation was that the increased emissions from the Portlands Energy Centre would not be subject to the requirement to obtain municipal consent.
This Motion calls on the Federal Government to support the City in meeting our climate goals and to use their regulatory authority to backstop City Council’s position.
