Canada i no et to cut emiion  36% elo 2005 level  the end of the decade—a

ignificant hi몭 from the 9% increae  2030 projected ack in 2015 efore the Trudeau

government’ firt climate plan a introduced.

“To meet the gloal challenge of the climate crii, Canada increaed it target in 2021 in

line ith man of our cloet allie and trading partner, including the U.. While there

remain a gap to cloe for Canada to meet it 2030 emiion reduction target of at leat

40%, the government i on track to exceed it interim 2026 target and ha identified further

federal meaure that could help cloe it: for example, moving forard ith the oil and ga

emiion cap alo announced toda, the finalization of a numer of vital clean energ

invetment tax credit, and Canada’ Green uilding trateg.

“There i alo a preing need for more provincial and municipal action toard Canada’

collective climate goal and for the federal government to doule don on policie it ha

promied ut not et implemented in the miion Reduction Plan, like truck and u

regulation and a national u Clean trateg. If there i one leon from toda’

announcement, it’ that e mut immediatel make thee propoed policie into real one.

“Indeed, a e near the end of hat i et to e the ho몭et ear ever recorded, e need to

e deating ho to do more, not le. While the ne progre report ho that federal

leaderhip ill ucceed in reducing Canada’ emiion, meeting the cale of the climate

challenge mean roing together a a countr—ever province, political part, communit,

and indutr. No i not the time for provincial infighting or campaign to axe our mot

e몭ective climate policie. No i the time for action and, a toda’ report ho,

accountailit.”
