Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

I refer to the reply to Question No. 132 of 5 February 2013.

In releasing the outline Heads of the Bill shortly, I will address both the importance of environmental and economic sustainability, and the critical issue of meeting greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.
