We heard from many witnesses that capping emissions through carbon sequestration and capture may be effective, but only for certain industries. These include cement plants and other industrial processes that pollute. This, they argue, is not necessarily the case for oil.
Today we learn that the Bay du Nord project will potentially release 430 megatonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. I can't believe that the department, before the Liberals introduced the 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan, didn't calculate that.
Is there anyone in the Department of Natural Resources who was aware of what was coming and did calculations on what the Bay du Nord project could represent if they tried to cap emissions?
