Opposition Motions

December 3, 2021 — — That, given that,

(i) Canadians deserve climate action, access to low cost, readily available alternatives to high carbon products, and sustainable jobs,

(iii) Canada allows the importation of high carbon oil and gas from countries like Saudi Arabia that do not have emissions productions caps,

(iv) this imbalance has the net effect of making Canadians more reliant on high cost, high carbon fuel, and increasing global greenhouse gas emissions, while offshoring Canadian jobs to high carbon producing nations,

the House call on the government to support Canadian energy sector efforts to decarbonize production, support Canadian energy sector workers, and impose commensurate tariffs on imported sources of carbon energy so that it is not free for polluters outside of Canada to provide energy to Canadians while contributing to rising greenhouse gas emissions.
