The list of rollbacks they give is long:

  • Scrapped the carbon tax and rebate
  • Passed the Building Canada Act, which exempts major projects from environmental laws
  • Doubled down on LNG infrastructure, by referring LNG Canada Phase 2 to the Major Projects Office
  • Ended the Greener Homes loan program, which provided homeowners with up to $40,000 in zero-interest financing for green renovations
  • Disproportionately cut funding to Environment and Climate Change Canada
  • Expanded subsidies for carbon capture and storage
  • Axed the 2 billion trees program
  • Promised federal support for a new oilsands pipeline, as well as the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline
  • Announced intention to not proceed with the cap on emissions from the oil and gas industry
  • Weakened the Clean Electricity Regulations by suspending their application in Alberta
  • Promised new subsidies for fossil fuel infrastructure (pipelines, CCS & enhanced oil recovery)
  • Threatened to amend or suspend the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act
  • Weakened greenwashing provisions in the Competition Act
  • Weakened methane regulations, by delaying Alberta’s deadline for achieving the targets
  • Doubled down on fossil fuels, by referring Ksi Lisims LNG, and the enabling North Coast Transmission Line, to the Major Projects Office
  • Suspended a ban on the export of single-use plastic items that are prohibited in Canada
  • Scrapped the Electric Vehicle Availability Standard, which would have required all new vehicles sold in Canada to be zero-emissions by 2035.
  • Cut $5 billion for the Canada Public Transit Fund (CPTF)
  • Updated the mandate for the Canada Infrastructure Bank to make way for fossil fuel financing
  • Promised $1 billion for Equinor’s proposed Bay du Nord Offshore Oil Project
  • Ended the Clean Growth Hub
  • Gave Alberta more powers over impact assessment
  • Paused the fuel excise tax
  • Created new fossil fuel subsidies for more oil and gas production
  • Weakened the Pest Control Products Act
  • Doubled down on fossil fuels, by approving Enbridge’s $4 billion Sunrise natural gas pipeline expansion plan in BC
  • Proposed sweeping changes to major project decision making and approvals, including:
    — creating special economic zones where projects will not need reviews,
    — creating conditions to preapprove pipelines,
    — weakening Species at Risk Act to allow Cabinet to approve projects
    that would threaten the survival or recovery of endangered species
  • Weakened Canada’s Electricity Regulations, which will make more room for fossil gas and make it harder to get a clean, affordable grid
  • Weakened industrial carbon pricing
  • Lowered expectations for CCS Pathways Project
  • Considered using Export Development Canada for public financing for LNG Canada

I read the article and tried to read the legal doc they sent the judge. There's a lot of large claims here. Are there any sources? While I wouldn't be surprised if the Libs did all of this, im pretty surprised there's no sources in the proposal to the judge.
