Federal Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin says Ottawa is acting with “urgency” to satisfy requirements outlined in the federal budget for abolishing the oil-and-gas emissions cap, but she did not provide a specific timeline for its removal during a weekend speech.
Dabrusin and Energy Minister Tim Hodgson held a press conference in Toronto on Nov. 9 to promote the government’s Climate Competitiveness Strategy and discuss how the budget will impact both the environment and the country’s economy.
