legislature, considered_by.Bill C-377: Climate Change Accountability Act was a Private Member's bill that was introduced three times in the Canadian Parliament, in the 39th, 40th and 41st Canadian Parliaments.
The first version of the bill, Bill C-377, was introduced in 2006 by Jack Layton, the leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP). It was introduced again in 2009 as Bill C-311 by another NDP member of Parliament, Bruce Hyer, and finally in 2011 as Bill C-224 by Megan Leslie in 2011. The different versions of the bill had varying success in the House of Commons and the Senate of Canada, but none were passed by Parliament.
The purpose of the bill was to require the federal government government to set medium and long term emissions levels of climate change gases.
