It hadn't happened in a decade.
One Friday, Canada's federal, provincial and territorial environment ministers used their first ministerial-level meeting in ten years to "take stock" of the challenge of reducing carbon emissions and continue to work on a national strategy to combat climate change.
Environment Minister Catherine McKenna sat down with The House following the meeting to talk about the upcoming first ministers meeting on climate.
