Climate Action Network Canada and its members have very emphatically requested that fossil fuel subsidies be reduced and eliminated.
The climate crisis is caused by the burning of oil and gas. It's good to invest in new sectors and provide incentives to oil and gas or other sectors to gradually reduce their emissions. However, we also have to stop encouraging investments to increase oil and gas production through other incentives, such as fossil fuel subsidies.
The first step is to stop increasing production, and this kind of subsidy unfortunately does the exact opposite.
