“Guilbeault's [Steven Guilbeault] appointment is not the only signal Trudeau's government sent on climate with its new cabinet appointments this week. Canada's former environment minister, Jonathan Wilkinson, was named the new minister of natural resources. That role had previously been held by a Seamus O'Regan who championed fossil fuel interests. He [O'Regan] was a disaster in my view. He was the inside man for the oil and gas industry in cabinet and had been holding back progress on the environment.”
