Environment committee   in those things are good jobs. Workers are not afraid of hard work. It is workers' hard work that has built this economy. We are ready to step up and do the work that is needed to build a net-zero economy to protect us from the worst impacts of climate change, but we need those

Environment committee   consumption? No, we heavily tax production and consumption. Do we impede investment in clean energy sources? No, incentives for renewables are at least as attractive as, if not more attractive, than oil and gas. Do we undermine efforts to fight the threat of climate change

Environment committee  %. The fossil fuel subsidy reform can also support financing green recovery and sustainable developmental goals. Globally, countries are facing very severe fiscal constraints right now to simultaneously respond to the pandemic, build resilience to climate change and get back on track

Environment committee  I would like to ask the representative, Mr. Brunnen, from the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers about this. When he says that his organization hasn't done anything to promote fossil fuels or fight against climate change, is he unaware of the efforts made in the media

Environment committee   climate change, but if we look at the metrics, the number of lives lost in the last 200 years that has to do with weather-related issues has dropped drastically. I'm just wondering if this is being calculated as an offset when you speak about human lives and human suffering because

Environment committee  Thanks very much, Mr. Chair. It's great to be back at the environment committee with my colleagues. Thank you to the witnesses who are here today. I'd like to start with you, Ms. Kim, if I may. One of the things I'm interested in is how the climate change fight is a global

Environment committee  I cannot speak based on any study that shows the correlation. I would say that if you look at the indices across countries, for instance, we see that many countries included removing fossil fuel subsidies as part of their action points to meet their climate change goals

Environment committee   catastrophic climate change, we must transition our economies off fossil fuels in the next decade. We have the solutions to build a clean energy future, and we know that the transition away from fossil fuels will bring far greater energy affordability, security and better jobs. Today

Environment committee  . I am wondering about this. In the 2021 mandate letter for the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance, it instructed Minister Freeland to “Work with the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, and with...the Minister of Natural Resources, to accelerate our G20

Environment committee  I'm banking on countries taking climate change seriously. Canada is a laggard; we're not a leader on this. More generally, Canada has the dirtiest oil in the world—the fourth dirtiest in the world. This came through in the ERP, this idea that we could have the cleanest and most

Environment committee   of emissions—as our Minister of Environment and Climate Change said—from our largest and fastest and growing source of emissions. Do you see a role for government to support reducing emissions on top of what would be feasible through regulations alone?

Environment committee   says Canada has no legal responsibility to counter downstream emissions as part of our national emissions, but the accounting rules are not an answer to the problem we face. The downstream emissions from our oil are a core problem. They contribute directly to climate change

You've also pointed out that such a level of production is incompatible with keeping to 1.5 degrees and avoiding catastrophic climate change. We heard from a previous

Environment committee  Right. It's also because of the drought and because of extreme climate crisis. Some of the developing countries are actually the ones that are suffering most from climate change, although they haven't contributed to it. I am asking about climate change in particular.

Environment committee   released a groundbreaking report, the third out of three major reports. This one specifically focused on the mitigation of climate change. The report says that, without a doubt, we have what's necessary to cut emissions by half everywhere. It also says that things have radically
