"Prime Minister Mark Carney’s budget scales back rules around greenwashing, and hints an oil and gas emissions cap is unlikely. But it introduces a youth climate corps and renews efforts to lift boil-water advisories"
"Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget proposes cancelling or changing climate rules and initiatives, while cutting billions of dollars in planned environment spending and reorienting funds to “supercharge growth.”
The government tabled its 2025 federal budget documents in Parliament on Nov. 4. In a speech, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said the world is undergoing fundamental shifts that are upending the international order and hurting Canadian workers, and that “bold and swift action is needed.”
That action includes weakening a key law that clamped down on industry greenwashing.
It also includes drawing down spending at two federal agencies involved in environmental oversight, and winding down two high-profile climate programs: the Canada Greener Homes Grant and the 2 Billion Trees program."
