None of this will happen if we continue to falsely present climate policy as an opponent of economic policy. That incorrect framing needs to end. This is is about making upfront investments in policy and infrastructure today to build low-carbon industries and deliver long-term prosperity. (6/6)

iv) To do all this, federal and provincial governments need better and more accountable deals on policy implementation. Known as equivalency agreements, these deals are currently not transparent enough nor sufficiently monitored to maximize their efficiency and effectiveness (5/6)

iii) Expediting the stalled methane regulations for landfills and the oil and gas industry, providing heat pump incentives to low-income households, and broader adoption of low-carbon building codes would further promote long-term clean growth and reduce emissions (4/6)

ii) Adjust, rather than remove, existing policies to save red tape. For example, our research shows that small changes to Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations, along with reintroducing electric vehicle incentives, is one pathway to reducing unintended and unproductive regulatory overlap (3/6)
