Energy & Climate

Federal budget makes welcome investments in a fair, sustainable future for Canada, but large gaps remain on efficiency and supports for workers and low-income individuals.  

In order to avoid the worst effects of the climate emergency, Canada needs to accelerate a transition away from fossil fuels. A shift to sustainable energy solutions will help stabilize energy costs by shielding Canadians from volatile oil and gas market fluctuations. However, the transition to a clean energy economy must not fall on the backs of low to medium-income households, and it must ensure that big polluters pay their fair share.
