Climate Talk Canada’s report National Unity Implications of Significantly Reducing Oil and Gas Industry GHG Emissions addresses the problem of possible conflict between the oil provinces and others as the federal government moves to reduce oil and gas emissions. The report recommends that the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, and an Advisory Body establish a citizens’ forum made up of individual Canadians from the fossil-fuel and other provinces. With a requirement to report by April 1, 2022, the mandate of the forum would be to answer this question: How can the necessary oil and gas industry emission reductions be achieved in a way which is seen as fair and equitable by all Canadians?
