Words matter, and nowhere is that clearer than with Wednesday’s unveiling of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change during the swearing-in of Canada’s new cabinet.
Catherine McKenna, a lawyer with a background in international trade and social justice, is in charge of the renamed portfolio.
“Canadians expect their government to be responsible around climate change and addressing the impacts to the environment that we are facing,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said following the ceremony. “Canada is going to be a strong and positive actor on the world stage, including in Paris at COP21. That’s why we have a very strong minister, not just of the environment but of the environment and climate change who will be at the heart of this discussion.”
