Excerpt:
Conservative Opposition Leader Hugh McFadyen said the plan lacks teeth.

"I was surprised that after all the NDP's bravado on climate change they would announce something that would be such a dud in terms of both targets and the means they propose to get to those targets," he said, pointing out that 95 per cent of the reductions won't be achieved until after the next provincial election.

"No enforcement mechanisms, no incentives to help move any of the companies or others to that may be emitting CO{-2} toward the target. ... In the immortal words of Marge Simpson, 'Aim low, kids. Aim so low that nobody will know when you succeed.' "
