Repealing Canada’s electric vehicle standard and delaying its replacement puts 2035 sales goal at risk

Proposed Powering Canada Forward Fund would enable Canada to double the capacity of its electricity grid by 2050 without driving up power bills.

Federal investment in expanding B.C.’s affordable, clean grid is an investment in supercharging Canada’s future, laying groundwork for a key energy corridor.

New research shows attracting investment for major projects and industrial growth depends on revamping Canada’s electricity systems to build low-cost clean power faster.

The MOU agreement’s unreasonable compromises on industrial carbon markets and clean electricity regulations, and the implications for weakening policies in other provinces, will undermine emissions reductions and Canada’s low-carbon competitiveness.
