The Pembina Institute welcomes the opportunity to provide input on the development of this regulation.

Canada’s energy companies are “awash in cash and hungry,” according to the Globe and Mail. That appetite is far from fully satiated, leading to numerous mergers in the energy sector both in this country and south of the border.

The Pembina Institute submitted these comments on the Regulatory Framework for an Oil and Gas Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions Cap:This emissions cap, as proposed, represents a realistic and reasonable pathway to meaningful emissions reductions in the oil and gas sector this decade. The Pembina Institute generally supports the level and scope of the proposed cap, despite the cap level being misaligned with the economy-wide target of a 40-45% reduction in emissions by 2030.
