New analysis from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) shows that current regulations will reduce emissions by less than 30 per cent in 2025, instead of the 40 to 45 per cent commitment – a gap of at least 10 per cent.

And yet the federal government is proceeding with agreements to allow the three Western provinces to implement their own rules.

Despite this significant gap.

And without a clear, concrete plan to close it.

There are well understood and cost-effective ways to reduce emissions from oil and gas operations. Not closing this methane gap means giving up on the cheapest, most effective GHG reductions.
