A packed panel discussion at a church on McArthur Avenue perhaps speaks volumes
to the growing concern around climate change policies in Canada, but the five
participating politicians were hardly able to scratch the surface of the
contentious topic during a two-hour discussion. Ecology Ottawa hosted the event
at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship church in Overbrook on April 9 in an
effort to get all levels of government representing the urban east end to
discuss what elected representatives can and should do to mitigate climate
change. East-end city councillors Tim Tierney, Mathieu Fleury and Tobi Nussbaum
joined Liberal Ottawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur and her federal counterpart,
MP Mauril Bélanger at the table. via
