Feds Have No Data on How Regulations Reduce Emissions: Audit Jerry DeMarco, commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development, holds a press conference in Ottawa on April 20, 2023.
The audit considered five regulations with the stated intent to reduce emissions from vehicles on the road, power plants, and oil and gas production.
DeMarco concluded, “Without comprehensive impact information, the federal government does not know whether it is using the right tools to sufficiently reduce emissions to meet its target.”
The audit found the country isn’t on track to plant even one-tenth of the promised trees by the deadline, despite a $3.2 billion allocation in the 2020 fall economic statement.
Now the Liberal government said it will not start reducing emissions until 2031, at the earliest.
