Environment minister floats extended timeline for sector, which accounts for 26 per cent of national emissions
Canada’s environment minister says the federal government could give oil and gas companies extra time to fully meet 2030 emissions reduction targets.
“[We] recognize that some of the measures that will be needed to achieve those deep emission reductions might require more time than what we have between now and 2030,” Steven Guilbeault said in an interview with CBC Radio’s The House.
“I’m not saying today it’s necessarily going to be 2032, but the companies have said it could be 10 years, which would bring us to 2032.”
Canada contributes a whopping 1.6% to total Global GHG emissions. This is a ludicrous offer of compromise by Guilbeault. I hope they see the writing on the wall, the people will fight back if they wage a green-scam class war.
So naturally Trudeau thinks crippling the oil and gas sector, decimating Canada’s overall economic well being and further alienating the west is a great trade off to achieving exactly squat environmentally.
