Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is lagging in the fight against climate change because it does not have a plan to reduce the sector's greenhouse gas emissions, the federal environment commissioner has found.

Thousands of Canadians die prematurely each year due to air pollution. These climate organizations are petitioning Canada's environment watchdog to find out what Ottawa is doing about it.

Subsidizing fossil fuels while committing to slash greenhouse gas emissions is like trying to push a boulder both up and down a mountain at the same time, so why can't Canada get a plan in place?

At the banks' annual general meetings, shareholders voted down resolutions urging stronger climate action despite promises to reach net zero. Is it time for federal regulators to force the banks to fall in line?

The federal government is biased against listing commercially valuable fish as species at risk and needing protection, environment commissioner Jerry DeMarco said in a new audit published on Tuesday, October 4, 2022.

By failing to support coal workers and prepare for a just transition to a low-carbon economy, the federal government is “stealing our futures,” says longtime oil and gas worker Stephen Buhler.

Canada's carbon pricing system is disproportionately hard on Indigenous communities and small businesses and not hard enough on the biggest emitters, the federal environment commissioner said on Tuesday, April 26, 2022, in a new audit.

The federal natural resources minister said on Tuesday, April 26, 2022, that concerns from the auditor general’s office about government plans to move to a more hydrogen-powered economy don’t mean the goals aren’t achievable.

Transitioning away from fossil fuels is key for Canada to meet its climate targets, but a recent audit shows the federal government is not ready to support a just transition for affected workers and communities.

The party's natural resources critic wrote to Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson on Jan. 27 after recent reports found the federal government's climate change funding for oil and gas companies amounts to little more than fossil fuel subsidies.

The program offers loans of up to $50 million to help oil and gas producers meet or exceed regulations enforcing cuts to their methane emissions.  

Green Party MPs and environmental groups say a financial relief program for onshore oil and gas companies should be scrapped after a scathing report by Canada’s climate watchdog was released Thursday.

Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said on Friday, November 26, 2021, a pandemic aid program to help oil and gas companies cut their methane emissions will be revisited now that the industry is back on its feet.

A federal program providing financial aid to help struggling oil and gas companies reduce greenhouse gas emissions was “poorly designed” and amounts to little more than a fossil fuel subsidy, a new report reveals.

A series of scathing reports from Canada’s climate watchdog have laid bare decades of failure to reduce emissions, with the current government tarred with “policy incoherence” across several files.
