Onshore Emissions Reduction Fund

Right now, many government policies work against Canada’s best climate, economic and social interests, and to fix this, a new report says we need to address the elephant in the room: fossil fuel subsidies.

The party's natural resources critic wrote to Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson on Jan. 27 after recent reports found the federal government's climate change funding for oil and gas companies amounts to little more than fossil fuel subsidies.

Natural Resources Canada is tweaking its onshore emissions reduction fund in the wake of scathing reports from the federal climate watchdog that found the program amounted to little more than a fossil fuel subsidy.

Green Party MPs and environmental groups say a financial relief program for onshore oil and gas companies should be scrapped after a scathing report by Canada’s climate watchdog was released Thursday.

Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said on Friday, November 26, 2021, a pandemic aid program to help oil and gas companies cut their methane emissions will be revisited now that the industry is back on its feet.

A series of scathing reports from Canada’s climate watchdog have laid bare decades of failure to reduce emissions, with the current government tarred with “policy incoherence” across several files.
