Manitoba's premier isn't impressed by Ottawa's ambitious new goal of slashing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. But as the CBC's Ian Froese reports, Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister wasn't impressed. He acknowledged the latest emissions data from the federal government shows Manitoba's emissions dipped slightly in 2019 to 22.6 megatonnes after hitting a record 22.9 megatonnes in 2018. Manitoba's green plan, conceived by the Progressive Conservative government, took effect in 2018. Manitoba's emissions in 2019 were nearly 10 per cent higher than 2005 levels.
