EXCERPT: "Ontario has asked the Supreme Court to weigh in on a historic youth-led challenge of the province’s climate plan, moving the case a step closer to a possible hearing before Canada’s top court.

An eight-week trial has been scheduled for October, 2026 [pdf] in a case where a group of young people are challenging the federal government’s climate plan.

The Supreme Court receives as many as 600 applications for leave to appeal every year and grants around 80, according to its website."
