Environment Canada officials grilled on Canada’s climate targets at committee hearing
Officials could not quantify how policy rollbacks, including scrapping the carbon price, will hinder Canada’s commitment to reduce emissions by 40 to 45 percent by 2030.
- Environment and Climate Change Canada officials were questioned about how the repeal of the consumer carbon price and suspension of the 2026 electric vehicle mandate impacted Canada's 2030 emission reduction targets.
- Scrapping the consumer carbon price would add 3 megatonnes of emissions in 2030, and the impact of suspending the EV mandate had not been calculated, according to official Megan Nichols.
- The questioning came after federal ministers refused to commit to the 2030 targets and after a report suggested the 2030 target is now out of reach.
