Tell the government you support responsible resource development

[recapped]

The government portal includes 6 questions for you to provide your opinions on. These consultations matter. In March 2021, the government ran a similar engagement to help inform their more ambitious 2030 goals. According to the government of the just over 1,100 people who responded, over 95% supported their more ambitious direction. Later in June, these targets were enshrined into law with passing of the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act.



This is your opportunity to have your voice make a real difference.



We have included our reflections on the questions posed – please feel free to use them to help with your submission – and as always, thank you for your continued support of Canada’s natural gas and oil industry.

Your feedback matters to us!

Q1. What opportunities do you think the Government of Canada should pursue to reduce emissions by 40-45% below 2005 levels by 2030 and position Canada to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, including in any or all of the following economic sectors? Please elaborate on your answers where appropriate, including any specific insights on policy opportunities or initiatives.
(Please refrain from using personal identifying information in your response).

Buildings:A,Measure baseline 'emissions' that occurred in 2005, sector by sector, with accurate measurements.


Electricity:A,Measure baseline 'energy consumption' that occurred in 2005, sector by sector, with accurate measurements.


Heavy industry, including oil and gas: A,Measure baseline 'emissions' that occurred in 2005, for 'heavy industry', with accurate measurements.


Transportation:A, Measure baseline 'emissions' that occurred in 2005, transportation by sector, with accurate measurements.


Agriculture and waste:
A,Measure baseline 'emissions' that occurred in 2005, for agriculture, with accurate measurements. 1/3 of all food is wasted and not consumed we are told, this is the best most efficient waste to eliminate to reach net zero Carbon emissions.


Nature-based climate solutions:
A,Measure baseline 'emissions' that occurred in 2005, for nature based sector, with accurate measurements.
Measure baseline 'emissions' would have been in 2005, sector by sector, with accurate measurements.


Economy-wide (e.g., carbon pricing, climate-risk disclosure, sustainable finance, etc.):
A,Without accurate, complete, consultations that are: science based, record based, a 'net zero' emissions objective that is realistic, is impossible.


Other, please specify
A,Sector by sector actual 2005 historic records of 'emissions' and production levels exist, these need to be fairly collected and each sector must agree on the 2005 emission levels, to achieve 'net zero' overall objectives fairly and with efficiency and productivity based outcome.

Q2. What do you see as the barriers or challenges to reducing emissions in these sectors? Do you have suggestions on how to overcome these barriers?
(Please refrain from using personal identifying information in your response).
NH3 hydrogen based high density energy must be efficiently: created, developed and applied to all sectors where possible, NH3 technology solutions to enhance fossil fuels creating high energy efficiency levels with high energy density sources; including Nuclear energy applications where efficient for application to all sectors of civilization and Canadian industry, agriculture, public infrastructure, and net zero carbon objectives.

Q3. What broader economic, technological, or social challenges and opportunities do you foresee resulting from efforts to reduce emissions in these sectors? For example, opportunities associated with economic diversification across sectors. Do you have suggestions on how to address these challenges and opportunities?
A, Canada has all the resources needed to achieve better than a 'net zero' prosperous Carbon based economy and human civilization. Wisdom and guidance to achieve this objective must include sector by sector agreements with multi-sector co-operation and negotiations that build prosperity and respect human dignity of all involved.

Section 2: Contributing to Net-Zero by 2050
The Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act specifies that the Emissions Reduction Plan for 2030 must also describe how the key measures and strategies will contribute to Canada achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
Net-zero emissions means either emitting no greenhouse gases or offsetting emissions that can’t be fully reduced.
Looking at measures to get to net-zero by 2050 is different from reducing emissions for 2030. For example, for 2050 many technologies will be further along in their development and deployment stages (i.e. hydrogen and carbon capture, utilization and storage). Zero-emission vehicles will be cheaper and more widely available, coal-fired electricity will be phased-out, and the carbon price will have increased.
Our ability to take advantage of opportunities post-2030 will depend on our understanding of these solutions and positioning Canada for them now (e.g. electric vehicle battery manufacturing in Canada).
Note that the purpose of this engagement exercise is to focus on emissions reductions or climate change mitigation. Canada is simultaneously committed to advancing ambitious action on climate change adaptation, and is in the process of developing a National Adaptation Strategy to establish a shared vision for climate resilience in Canada; this process will occur separately. To learn more about Canada’s National Adaptation Strategy, please visit www.canada.ca/national-adaptation-strategy. Public participation opportunities will be posted on the website.

Q4. Looking beyond 2030, what enabling measures, strategies or technological pathways do you think the Government of Canada should put in place now to ensure that Canada is on track to net-zero emissions by 2050?
(Please refrain from using personal identifying information in your response).
A,A realistic comprehensive strategy that: sector by sector, allows for future innovation and comprehensive accurate measurement of 'net zero' Carbon 2030 Canadian contributions to meet 2050 sector by sector carbon targets.

Q5. What broader economic, technological, or social issues to you foresee as a result of the transition to a net-zero economy in Canada? Do you have suggestions on how to address these issues?
(Please refrain from using personal identifying information in your response).

A, Negotiation, Consultation, Co-operation, Consensus built agreement: sector by sector that rewards innovation, efficiency, respectful social and ethical contributions to peacefully achieve these matters [issues] in a prosperous manner.

Section 3: Ongoing Engagement on Canada’s Emissions Reduction Plans
The Government of Canada will continue to engage with interested persons for future emissions reduction plans for 2035, 2040, 2045, and 2050.
We welcome your views on how you would like to be engaged moving forward.

6. How would you like to be engaged on Canada’s climate plans moving forward? How often should this engagement occur, and what method or format would be preferable?
(Please refrain from using personal identifying information in your response).
A, Sector by Sector, 5 year plan by 5 year plan, continuous consultations built on voluntary consensus based negotiations that respect all sectors and human integrity and dignity.
