Oil and natural gas are Canada’s #1 largest export

Canadians are truly fortunate to have one of the largest oil and gas sectors in the world, and it is an irreplaceable driver of our national economy. 

Without the contribution that oil and gas make to our national finances, Canadians from across the country simply would not have the same high standard of living that we have the privilege of enjoying.

The good news is that the sector still has room to grow for many years to come and global demand is growing. If we so choose, Canadians can receive even more of the vast prosperity that the sector has already created.

Unfortunately, the federal government is in the process of developing an Emissions Cap regulation that could put a hard limit on how large the sector can grow. Official studies project that the policy could cost Canada up to $1 trillion dollars of missed economic activity between 2030 and 2040 and eliminate up to 151,000 jobs by 2030.

Policies like this do not make sense at times when families all across the country are struggling to make ends meet.

Now is not the time to be working against growing our nation’s largest wealth generators and employers. Canadians need to be expanding the sectors that support our standard of living with high wages and funding for public services, not limiting them.

Please take a moment to email your federal representatives and ask them to support Canada’s largest export, by opposing the federal Emissions Cap.
