I feel it has to go beyond that. Canada needs to end all direct and indirect subsidies to the oil and gas sector right now. This investment made in the form of credit can be redirected to help the workers in this problem sector get through the transition and maintain their quality of life. That's the key. It's also about assisting communities that are more vulnerable because of their dependence on oil and gas so that they can quietly make the transition.
As for the companies and industries in the sector, they're not the ones we should be supporting, because they are the bearers of the climate change issue. We must therefore find ways to curb their production. Subsidies artificially bring down the costs associated with this sector of activity. If the externalities generated by the oil and gas sector in Canada were taken into account, the costs would be much more substantial and therefore much less appealing, and the transition would naturally occur much more quickly.
