Chu is a member of the Yukon/NWT delegation and his NDP background shows itself readily in their press release when they “call upon the Government of Canada, to create a national, unified plan to combat the effects of climate change.” They further state that “Strong national standards must be set.” Chu has brought the NDP’s strong conviction on environmental issues to the delegation. Also, by asserting that Canada should single-handedly take on the worldwide issue of climate change, he has brought a measure of their inherent naïveté with him to the table as well.
Regardless of what you think of his politics, Chu will no doubt continue to be a strong and consistent voice and his influence will shape the tone and content of political discourse in Canadian federalist politics for the foreseeable future.
