Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau wrapped up his latest campaign tour through the Lower Mainland with a promise to help Canadians transform their homes into more energy efficient ones in efforts to cut emissions.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 expensive to adapt to a changing climate. We are going to help you replace those drafty windows or your old furnace 91裸聊视频� so you can cut your utility bills and keep our environment healthy,91裸聊视频� Trudeau said in Delta on Wednesday morning.

The Liberals unveiled a plan to, if re-elected, help retrofit 1.5 million homes to be more energy efficient, offer interest-free loans up to $40,000 to help pay for retrofits and offer Net Zero Homes Grant up to $5,000 to people who but zero-emissions homes.

Meanwhile, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer pivoted his campaign to the environment while in Jonquiere, Que., announcing a tax credit for homeowners who make energy-saving renovations, following a scathing attack a day earlier by his Liberal opponent, Justin Trudeau.

The 20 per cent refundable tax credit could be worth up to $3,800 annually, he said, as he shot back at Trudeau91裸聊视频檚 new promise on Tuesday to achieve zero net carbon emissions in Canada by 2050.

Scheer said Trudeau hasn91裸聊视频檛 met Canada91裸聊视频檚 greenhouse gas reduction targets for 2030, so there91裸聊视频檚 no point in taking his plan seriously for 2050. He reiterated the new Conservative plan would give Canada the 91裸聊视频渂est chance91裸聊视频� to reach the 2030 targets, but his announcement carried no detailed analysis.

91裸聊视频淭hese are all measures specifically designed to lower Canada91裸聊视频檚 emissions, but also lower global emissions,91裸聊视频� Scheer said. 91裸聊视频淐anada is not the problem. We can shut down our entire economy here and within a matter of days, the production in China would replace everything that we produce here 91裸聊视频� all the emissions that we emit here.91裸聊视频�

On Tuesday, Trudeau spent much of his day in the Burnaby South riding 91裸聊视频� currently held by NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh. There he announced promises to cut corporate taxes in half for companies that produce zero-emission technologies as part of a plan to make Canada carbon-neutral by 2050.

Singh made climate-change promises of his own, including pledging to electrify Canada91裸聊视频檚 public-transit fleets by the end of the next decade and to construct a coast-to-coast, clean-energy corridor.

The NDP called Trudeau91裸聊视频檚 climate-change policies hypocritical because of the government91裸聊视频檚 $4.5-billion purchase of the Trans Mountain pipeline project.

Trudeau was at a rally in Surrey Centre Tuesday afternoon where Liberal incumbent Randeep Sarai is campaigning for a second term. The riding was created before the last election largely from the now-dissolved riding of Surrey North, which bounced back and forth between the NDP and Liberals for most of its recent history.

The Liberals can91裸聊视频檇 afford to lose many seats in B.C. after winning 17 or the 42 ridings in 2015.

Some 1,000 supporters gathered in the parking lot of Surrey91裸聊视频檚 Aria Banquet Hall to see Trudeau run through his stump speech, applauding as he promised to increase Old Age Security and pension survivor benefits, and falling silent as he warned that a Conservative government would mean 91裸聊视频渢wice the cuts for you and your family.91裸聊视频�

Trudeau ended his speech with a plea to his supporters to knock doors.

91裸聊视频淪o please, go talk to your neighbours. Volunteer with Randeep, with Gordie, with all our great candidates. Drive to the polls. Make phone calls,91裸聊视频� said Trudeau, who was mobbed by enthusiastic fans following his appearance.
