Clean-air bill `smog, mirrors': Critics
OTTAWA—The federal government moved yesterday to give itself new powers to combat the pollution that causes climate change, smog and toxic indoor air.
But apart from a pledge to cut greenhouse gas emissions by about half by 2050, the proposed Clean Air Act contains no efficiency standards or reduction targets.

I read about that this morning in the 24 hrs paper. I don't understand why it will take half a century. By that time, some of the current population will not be around to see it. It should be done earlier.
Besides we may not even have that much time.

It would be nice if they could smarten up and get things done sooner.
I think they tried the same thing with phasing out CFC's years ago, and gave a 10 year deadline or something like that.
I can't remember exactly what it was.
