Greenhouse gas emissions platforms

Here's what the 2025 Canadian election parties are promising.

Liberal
  • Provide funding for low- and middle-income households, including renters, to adopt heat pumps and energy efficiency upgrades

    "Funding home retrofits and lowering utility bills while making it easier for low- and middle-income households, including renters, to adopt heat pumps and energy efficiency upgrades including insulation upgrades, heat pump installation, and window replacements;" — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14

Conservative
  • Remove the price on industrial greenhouse gas emissions

    "Poilievre will axe the entire Liberal carbon tax law, including the federal law that requires the provinces to impose an industrial carbon tax." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

  • Support a plan to double Newfoundland and Labrador's oil and gas production
  • Repeal the cap on industrial greenhouse gas emissions from oil and gas

Bloc
  • Favoriser l’ajout de critères environnementaux dans les appels d’offres publics, notamment l’impact sur les émissions de carbone
  • Lutter pour l’imposition d’un plafonnement des émissions des GES du secteur canadien du pétrole et du gaz

    Le Bloc Québécois luttera pour l’imposition d’un plafonnement des

    émissions des GES du secteur canadien du pétrole et

    du gaz qui engendrera chaque année une réduction

    réelle de la pollution par le carbone d’ici 2030.

  • Exiger que le fédéral cesse de prendre des engagements climatiques sans mettre en œuvre les mesures permettant de les atteindre dans son Plan de réduction des émissions
  • Défendre la tarification du carbone partout au Canada

    Le Bloc Québécois défendra la tarification du carbone partout au Canada, tout en réitérant l’invitation du Québec aux autres provinces à se joindre au système de plafonnement et d’échange de droits d’émission du Québec avec la Californie et l’État de Washington.

  • Soutenir financièrement la décarbonation et l’innovation en milieu industriel, avec la juste part des investissements au Québec

NDP
  • Set a target to cut greenhouse gas emissions to 50% below 2005 levels by 2035

    "We’ll follow the expert advice of the Net-Zero Advisory Body and set a target to cut greenhouse gas emissions to 50% below 2005 levels by 2035." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

  • Ask the Net-Zero Advisory Board to engage Canadians to make policy suggestions

    "To build lasting support and real results, we will ask the Net-Zero Advisory Body to engage Canadians from all walks of life—scientists, unions, workers, Indigenous communities, and concerned citizens—to shape a path forward that meets our climate obligations, protects jobs and affordability, and holds the biggest polluters accountable." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

  • Maintain industrial carbon pricing

    "We will eliminate the consumer carbon tax and maintain a robust industrial carbon pricing system—because targeting big polluters is the most effective way to cut emissions while protecting jobs and keeping Canadian industries competitive." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

  • Remove fossil fuel subsidies by the end of 2026

    "We will end the free ride for fossil fuel polluters by eliminating fossil fuel subsidies by the end of 2026, and we would immediately implement a cap on oil and gas emissions." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

  • Immediately cap oil and gas emissions, and maintain a strong cap going forward
  • Create a framework for corporate climate accountability

    "We will stop big banks and industries from greenwashing their fossil fuel investments and help accelerate investments in clean technology with a framework for corporate climate accountability." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

  • Require all federally-regulated entities to have credible plans to meet the country's climate commitments, and enforce completion of those plans

    "We will require all federally regulated entities, including financial institutions, Crown Corporations and the financial regulator not only to have credible plans to meet Canada’s climate commitments, but to meet those plans by law." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19
