In a new and historic constitutional challenge, seven youth plaintiffs allege that the Ontario government's weakening of the province's 2030 greenhouse gas emissions target violates their Charter rights.
In this episode, we explore the history of Mathur v Ontario and discuss whether governmental climate plans are reviewable by courts.
Our guest is Fraser Thomson, a lawyer at Ecojustice who is representing the Mathur claimants.
