Oil, gas companies told to cut emissions by one-third under planned cap.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said the oil and gas industry is a major source of emissions, but that it has done less than most other sectors to reduce them in the battle against climate change.

The regulations are still only in draft format and about two years behind schedule.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has also vowed to rip up emissions cap regulations.

The regulations won’t be finalized for months and it’s possible that the next federal election will take place before they are actually in force.

For Guilbeault , getting them out the door in a battle against climate change that has become so politically charged even progressives are wobbling, feels like something to celebrate.
