MP Niki Ashton has expressed solidarity for the climate strikers that took to the streets of Canada last week.

Ashton says young climate activists like Autumn Peltier are calling on us to become a champion for the environment and we must answer the call of climate strikers.

The NDP has announced a "New Deal for Climate Action and Good Jobs."

Part of this deal is to make sure that indigenous peoples are full and equal partners in Canada’s efforts to confront the climate crisis.

The deal would also ensure that Northern Manitoba workers and communities reap the benefits of a clean economy in the future.
