Under the proposed law, unveiled Thursday in Ottawa by Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, the government would be obliged to set targets every five years beginning in 2030. If it fails to reach them, it is required to assess the reasons for failure and spell out actions to remedy the situation to parliament.
