Environment committee  That includes regulating two of Canada's largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions—transportation and coal-fired electricity—to address climate change and improve air quality. As a result of Canada's coal regulations, Canadians can expect to see a cumulative reduction of about 240 megatonnes of greenhouse gas emissions during the first 21 years.

Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, with regard to (a), the raven underground coal mine project is subject to a comprehensive study under the former Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, and is being reviewed in close co-operation with the Province of British Columbia.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, Canada was the first country in the world to ban traditional coal-fired electricity. I want to share with hon. members an example of what we are doing to support the global community in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. One financing project that is under way is the solar plant in Uruguay.

The Environment  We recently announced three sectors that we will continue to regulate: reduce the methane emissions from the oil and gas sector, regulate the production of chemical nitrogen fertilizers and regulate emissions from natural-gas-fired electricity. This is in addition to the actions that we took in the traditional coal-fired electricity sector and in the transportation sector.

The Environment  Speaker, in Canada we have seen a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions since we started recording and we will continue to take actions. Canada was the first country in the world to ban traditional coal-fired electricity, which is one of the largest contributions to greenhouse gas emissions. We will continue to take actions. We just recently announced that we are going to move forward to reduce emissions by 30% below 2005 levels by 2030, and we will continue to take a balanced and responsible approach.

The Environment  We plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% below 2005 levels by 2030, a reduction of 225 megatonnes. We have also announced regulations in the transportation sector and banned traditional coal-fired electricity in Canada. Now we are moving on three new areas to reduce methane from the oil and gas sector, reduce the production of chemicals and nitrogen fertilizers, and regulate the emissions of natural gas-fired electricity generation.

Environment committee  In terms of the initiatives that were undertaken by the sector-by-sector approach, Canada was a world leader in banning the construction of traditional coal-fired electricity. We took the leadership role in banning that.

Environment committee  Based on our footprints, we are taking a sector-by-sector approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We've moved on the two largest emissions in the areas of transportation and coal. Now we're moving in the fertilizer sector, on methane and so on, as I announced a couple of weeks ago.

Environment committee  The federal government is taking a sector-by-sector approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions with the federal levers we have. We have moved on the transportation sector and the coal sector.

Environment committee  Though Canada's electricity systems are already some of the cleanest in the world, we have taken steps to developing an even cleaner electricity supply. In 2012 we published final regulations to reduce emissions from the coal-fired electricity sector. In 2015 we proposed the multi-sector air pollutants regulations to reduce air pollutants from industrial boilers and heaters, cement manufacturing, and stationary engines.

The Environment  We have one of the cleanest electricity systems in the world, with 79% of our electricity supply emitting no greenhouse gas emissions. Canada also became the first major coal user to ban the construction of traditional coal-fired electricity generation units. We will continue to move forward with regulatory measures that reduce greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining job creation and economic growth.

The Environment  We have taken actions on two of the largest sources of emissions in Canada, the transportation sector and the electricity generation sector. Canada has also become one of the first major coal users to ban the construction of traditional coal-fired electricity generation units. Canada's per capita greenhouse emissions are now at the lowest levels since we started recording in 1990, and the total emissions will go down by close to 130 megatonnes.

The Environment  We have taken action on two of the largest sources of emissions in Canada, the transportation sector and the electricity generation sector. Canada was also the first major coal user to ban the construction of traditional coal-fired generation units. Canada's per capita greenhouse gas emissions are now at their lowest levels since we started recording them in 1990.

The Environment  Speaker, we are very proud of our record in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In 2012, Canada became the first major coal user to ban the construction of traditional coal-fired electricity. The United States followed suit in 2014. Now that is showing leadership. We are also the founding member of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition that is focused on taking immediate actions, which is producing real results in two years.
