Will the federal government get it right on the oil and gas emissions cap?

  • At the UN summit in Glasgow last November, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised to “cap oil and gas emissions today, and ensure they decrease

Canada needs a roadmap to show how to get to net zero by 2050

  • Imagine trying to find an exciting new restaurant in town when there is literally no information about its location: no roadmap, not found on
Opinion | BY DALE MARSHALL | December 8, 2021
Governments use Canada Energy Regulator's scenarios to make decisions about public policy. Their analysis is critical, writes Dale Marshall. Strangely, the CER's Energy Futures report does not estimate carbon emissions for Canada for any of its scenarios. It is a shocking omission when climate change should be the major consideration in any decisions regarding energy development Photograph courtesy of Pixabay

The prime minister is winning the carbon pricing fight, he shouldn’t back down now

  • Over the coming weeks, the federal government will have to make big decisions that will determine just how effective Canada’s carbon price will be
Opinion | BY DALE MARSHALL | December 9, 2019
Regardless of the political math, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, pictured Nov. 20, 2019, may feel that he needs to allow weaker systems in all three provinces, in the interest of federal-provincial harmony. But for the country, that will mean less effective climate policies, higher carbon emissions, and provincial unfairness. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade

Plugging their methane leaks is the least oil companies could do on climate

On climate change, feds must catch up not slow down

Opinion | BY DALE MARSHALL | October 9, 2017
Canada's federal Environment and Climate Change Minister Catherine McKenna, pictured on the Hill recently. The federal government needs to take the commissioner’s report seriously, by working harder and faster to implement the needed climate policies, and ensuring that this and future governments have the tools to track progress on Canada’s carbon emissions, writes Dale Marshall.

Finance Minister Bill Morneau, pictured in this file photo. With one hand, governments take revenue from polluters based on how much carbon they emit, and with the other they give money back to those same polluters in the form of subsidies—$3.3-billion per year, according to recent estimates, writes Dale Marshall.

Canadian government sending carbon emissions in wrong direction

  • TORONTO—There is an interesting race going on in Ottawa, between increased carbon emissions from the government approvals for high-carbon energy projects, and reduced emissions
Opinion | BY DALE MARSHALL | December 5, 2016
Environment Minister Catherine McKenna, pictured in this file photo. The race is on, and time is short for carbon emission reductions to surge ahead of carbon emission increases. Until then, this race will end terribly for much of the world, and any claims of climate leadership will sound hollow. The Hill Times photograph by Jake Wright
