A new climate plan for Canada projects the oil and gas industry will need to cut greenhouse-gas emissions by 42 per cent from current levels by 2030 if the country is to meet its new targets.
The federal government unveiled its new emissions-reduction plan to reach its new greenhouse-gas targets by 2030. It projects the oil and gas industry needs to cut emissions 42 per cent from current levels if Canada is to meet its new goals.
Speaking at the Globe Forum sustainability conference in Vancouver, Trudeau said it is a "clear, reasonable contribution" for the sector to make and that the money is there for it to be done.
"With record profits, this is the moment for the oil and gas sector to invest in the sustainable future that will be good for business, good for communities, and good for our future," Trudeau said.
"Big oil lobbyists have had their time on the field. Now, it's over to the workers and engineers who will build solutions."
