US EditionNDP wants Suncor CEO to tell MPs why company moving away from focus on clean energy
- NDP MP Charlie Angus will ask the natural resources committee to summon Suncor CEO Rich Kruger to explain his remarks about refocusing the company's efforts on the oilsands instead of clean energy. Kruger's comments have been criticized as "shocking" and "irresponsible" by Angus, who believes companies should not abandon their responsibility to fight climate change.
- Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault supports regulation to force oil and gas companies to reduce emissions, citing Kruger's comments as proof of the need for regulation. Guilbeault intends to publish draft regulations setting a cap on greenhouse-gas emissions from the industry.
- Suncor, a part of the Pathways Alliance for emissions trapping technology, remains committed to the project. Oil and gas account for 28% of Canada's emissions, with the oilsands alone contributing 13%. Suncor's emissions in 2021 were 50% higher than in 2011, while Canada's total emissions have fallen 6% in the past 10 years.
