This past spring, wildfires burned over 13 million hectares in Quebec.

Lawyers at West Coast Environmental Law, representing the Sue Big Oil campaign, say the WWA study bolsters the case for a class action lawsuit against global fossil fuel companies by BC communities for their fair share of climate damages. We're joined by Andrew Gage, staff lawyer at West Coast Environmental Law.
