??Ensure that fossil fuel executives (past or current), companies, or lobbyists have no role in influencing our public policies or institutions. A commitment to fulfill our international responsibility by tripling Canadas climate finance to support the Global South, cancelling unjust Global South debt and freeing billions for climate solutions, make big polluters and the ultra-rich pay their fair share, and ending trade rules that undermine climate action. Resources for public post-secondary institutions to run training programs for a diverse range of jobs in the green economy, including retraining existing workers. Resources for communities to kickstart locally relevant shared mobility and active transportation initiatives and implement infrastructure updates to promote zero carbon transportation. Maximum resourcing and direct support for Indigenous-owned and Indigenous-led renewable energy projects. Mass investment in public programs that employ people doing the essential work of retrofitting our homes, operating rapid transit, restoring natural ecosystems, building a 100% renewable powered grid, and other critical work. Mass government investment in zero-carbon, safe public housing that prioritizes access for low-income and unhoused communities. Investment in Indigenous-led climate resilience initiatives rooted in Traditional Ecological Knowledge. Indigenous leadership in utilities regulation, infrastructure ownership, partnerships, and policy development processes around energy and electricity. Immediate and direct federal support for people directly affected by climate-driven flooding, wildfires, extreme heat, and other disasters. Funding to municipalities and provinces who transition to all zero-carbon buildings ahead of federal timelines. Federal regulations to ensure all new builds are energy efficient, fully electric with no gas connections, and equipped with heat pumps. Federal funding for large-scale publicly-owned renewable and community-led energy projects, grid efficiency upgrades, and energy storage. Direct support for skill building and education programs for Indigenous learners and students, including on-reserve programs developed by Indigenous communities to build their own project development capacity. Dedicated support and funding for Indigenous communities to build zero-carbon homes along with electricity infrastructure, as part of a broader effort to increase housing stock. Binding emissions reduction targets, an ambitious emissions cap, and a robust plan to rapidly transition us off fossil fuels that are poisoning our planet and our health. A Youth Climate Corps that provides training and living wages to young people doing important climate action work in their communities. A universal heat pump program accompanied by needs-based support for retrofits, and rental protections that ensure no tenants are displaced. A national public transit strategy and a permanent federal funding mechanism to enable long term transit expansion that meets the needs of diverse communities and geographies, including high-speed, electric public rail to connect population centres and electrified public bus fleets to serve rural and remote communities. All development to move forward in partnership with and with the full consent of Indigenous communities that directly benefit from new projects on their territories. A legislated roadmap to achieve 100% affordable, reliable, renewable power for all by 2035 by strengthening clean energy regulations.
