MPs: rein in Big Oil with a bold Emissions Cap

In less than 24 hours, fossil fuel executives representing Imperial, Cenovus, Enbridge, and Shell will appear before the House of Commons Environment Committee. There, they’ll be made to answer for their failure to rein in climate-wrecking emissions — despite reporting record-breaking profits.

As wildfires spread across Canada, this hearing is an ultra-rare opportunity to put the fossil fuel industry on trial for torching the planet. That’s why it’s so crucial that our allies on the Environment Committee pull no punches when it comes to the fossil fuel industry’s climate record. If they succeed in asking tough questions, and Big Oil executives stumble under the pressure, it could give legislators leeway to finally crack down on polluting emissions.

This could be our golden opportunity to push for a strong Emissions Cap on the fossil fuel industry — a common-sense policy that would limit Big Oil’s pollution. Send your MP a letter today — before the hearing begins — calling on them to fight for a bold Emissions Cap to keep big polluters in check.

Subject

Dear MP,

Tomorrow, June 6th, executives from Imperial, Enbridge, Cenovus and Shell will appear before the Environment Committee to brief “on their efforts to significantly reduce emissions to meet Canada’s international climate commitments amid their record-breaking profits since 2021.”

As the summer wildfire season begins, Canadians are once again being forced to confront the consequences of the climate crisis. Some of us will have to evacuate our homes; others will lose work; others will suffer from poor air quality.

Meanwhile fossil fuel executives, who are directly responsible for the climate crisis and intensifying wildfire seasons that result, are facing zero consequences for their unlimited pollution. Instead, their emissions continue to grow — as do their lobbying efforts to block climate policies, like the long-promised Emissions Cap, that might stand in the way of their profits.

As an elected representative, you have a duty to represent your constituents’ interests over those of Big Oil. That’s why I urge you to push for the Federal Government to release an ambitious Emissions Cap policy that reins in Big Oil’s pollution, without any further delay.

Thank you for your consideration,
