Talking points to include in your message:
- My name is [NAME] and I live in [RIDING]. I'm calling because I want the government to release and implement a bold emissions cap policy.
- To meet our climate goals, we need the emissions cap your government is working on to be ambitious and effective.
- This policy should involve:
- 1. Reducing emissions immediately: the oil and gas industry must reduce emissions significantly by 2025 and reduce its emissions by 60% by 2030.
- 2. Ensuring tools of compliance, enforceability and accountability are implemented immediately with the cap.
- 3. Including all emissions from the production and use of oil and gas.
- 4. Resisting efforts from the oil and gas industry to weaken the cap.
- 5. The cap should not undermine Canada’s commitment to phasing out fossil fuel subsidies.
- 6. Finally, Canada needs a Just Transition strategy that leaves no one behind by rapidly winding down fossil fuels, building strong, sustainable communities for everyone, creating millions of decent, low-carbon jobs and respecting Indigenous rights and sovereignty.
- FOR LIBERAL MPs: It has never been more critical to take bold climate action. The emissions cap regulations have been delayed long enough – we urgently need this policy in place.
- FOR ALL OTHER MPs: Climate action is everyone’s responsibility. I ask that you call on your colleagues in the Liberal Caucus to prioritize a strong and timely Emissions Cap policy for the sake of all Canadians.
