MPs spent their first day back in Parliament after Thanksgiving break debating the perils of climate change. The emergency debate was granted by House of Commons Speaker Geoffrey Regan just a week after the United Nations climate change arm dropped an explosive warning. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh joined Power & Politics Monday to discuss how his party would fight climate change after a recent UN report report warned of catastrophic consequences should immediate action not be taken. "We are the first generation to feel the impacts of climate change and we're the last generation to be able to act," she said during the emergency debate Monday. But while MPs from the NDP, Liberal and Green parties all asked Regan for the debate on the report of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the Conservatives did not.
