2022
May
Équiterre and 112 other civil society groups have signed the letter welcoming the Government of Canada's commitments to end subsidies and public funding of fossil fuels. However, let's not forget that these commitments do not mean that the federal government will end its support for fossil fuels in a way that is necessary for Canada to meet its climate goals.
For this reason, we urge the government to show real leadership by going beyond the commitments made to date and eliminating all subsidies, government funding and other forms of financial support from the Government of Canada and federal Crown corporations to the oil and gas sector by the end of 2022.
