The Liberal government has started a process that would force pizzerias, bagel shops, and any establishment that uses a wood-fired oven to run their business, to track their emissions and to report them to the federal government through a national registry, according to a statement from Minister Guilbeault’s department;

The committee express its opposition to the current process initiated by the Minister of the Environment and abandon any plans to ban the use of wood-fired ovens and report this to the House, and the committee immediately call Minister Guilbeault, departmental officials from the departments of the environment and natural resources to appear before committee within two weeks of this motion being adopted.
