Scrap The Cap.

As Canadians, we can all agree quality of life matters.

Having a place to 
call home matters.

Affording groceries & the basics matters.

Ottawa has a different agenda.

Ottawa has a different agenda.
A misguided one.

Ottawa’s energy production cap will hurt Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

Your family budget will suffer.

A production cap will make groceries, gas and all of life’s necessities even more expensive.

Fewer jobs and lower wages.

A production cap will cause thousands of job losses and will mean billions less in taxes that could have been used to build roads, schools and hospitals.

Prepare for the worst.

From surgical gloves to your phone, oil and gas are a part of almost everything we own. When Ottawa imposes an energy production cap, it will increase the cost of everything.

Canada's oil and gas industry is heavily regulated and emissions per barrel are declining. There is no need to make life more expensive by imposing a cap on energy production.

Ottawa’s production cap will hit Canadians hard.

What Canadians are saying

“Imposing an emissions cap on Canada’s oil and gas

The imposition of a federal emissions cap on Canadian oil and gas production is unnecessary and unacceptable given Canadian producers’ ongoing efforts to reduce emissions.”

Tristan Goodman
Explorers and Producers Association of Canada

“The cap would increase the price of energy

at a time when the country – and the world – is seeing high inflation and a contracting economy. Ensuring Canadians have continued access to affordable, sustainably sourced energy must be prioritized as we move forward with decarbonization policies.”

Deborah Yedlin
CEO, Calgary Chamber of Commerce

“A pathway to self-determination

is being achieved through the ownership of oil and gas projects and involvement in the sector. According to the Business Council of Canada, a cap on emissions would also mean a cap on production. This would also result on a cap on Indigenous opportunity in the oil and gas sector.”

John Desjarlais
Executive Director, Indigenous Resource Network

“If we’re going to help China and India get off of coal

and help reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, it makes sense for us to be selling our LNG to Asia and to other countries. To put a cap on it would just stop us from doing that.”

Karen Ogen
CEO, First Nations LNG Alliance

“By embracing our energy sector as a key asset

Canada can enhance its role on the global stage, support our allies, and combat climate change effectively. Unleashing the full potential of Canada’s natural resources is essential for securing energy security, achieving economic growth and driving long-term prosperity.”

Bryan Detchou
Senior Director of Natural Resources, Environment and Sustainability, Canadian Chamber of Commerce
