In a release, Sierra Club BC said
the announcement “confirms multi-billion dollar giveaways to foreign
multinationals that make it impossible to meet meaningful climate targets.”

“Why is our government spending billions to subsidize fossil
fuel corporations when the resulting extreme weather will put B.C. communities
at risk of increasing wildfires and drought, and rob our young people of a
livable future?” asked Campaigns Director Caitlyn Vernon. “We have just 11
years to limit climate pollution and defend our life support systems Yet
instead of doubling down on the energy efficiency retrofits and public
transportation infrastructure needed to fulfill the important CleanBC program,
this government is throwing fuel on the flames of the climate crisis.”
