The nearly $30 billion in financial support could have been used to build much-needed interprovincial electricity grid connection infrastructure, said Julia Levin, associate director of national climate for Environmental Defence and author of the report.

A federal Crown corporation is extending a $200 to $300-million loan to Enbridge Inc. to support the company’s oil and gas expansion plans.

Canada’s Crown corporation dedicated to helping industries export overseas, has confirmed that around half a billion dollars will be financed for a B.C. First Nation-led LNG project.

The federal government provided at least $18.5 billion to the fossil fuel and petrochemical industries last year, according to a new report by Environmental Defence.

The federal government needs to think holistically about how we support fossil fuels through the tax system, direct government funding, and other financial aid.

Canada now has a set of guidelines to restrict federal subsidies to the fossil fuel sector, albeit with numerous exceptions.

Oil and gas companies can afford the billions it will take to clean up their messes and it’s up to governments to force them to do so, a new analysis has found. 

Max Fawcett and Environmental Defence’s Julia Levin test our faith in carbon capture technology and question why taxpayers — and not industry — might be paying for it.

The federal government plans to introduce a tax credit for clean hydrogen investments in Budget 2023, but academics and some civil society groups say there’s a risk it could end up subsidizing fossil fuels if it’s not done right.

A group representing Canada’s largest oilsands producers got the green light to evaluate a proposed carbon storage site in northeastern Alberta that would seek to curb planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from the industry's operations.

Canada’s long-awaited plan to end public financing for international fossil fuel projects is here at last and, despite some loopholes, represents a major milestone, environmental groups say.

Canada’s new climate plan is banking on carbon capture to cut nearly 13 per cent of the oil and gas sector’s projected greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. But a new report reveals billions of public dollars already spent on the technology aren’t yielding substantial reductions.

If Canada wants to be a credible climate leader, it needs to align its export credit agency with the Paris Agreement goals immediately, says a new report from a leading international think tank.

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.

Carbon capture’s questionable numbers spell concern for Canada’s hydrogen plans
