Petition Text
Petition to the Prime Minister
Whereas:
• We support our Federal Government’s efforts to make Canada an Energy Superpower and recognize that for many Canadians this means continuing to make major investments in oil and gas infrastructure, including pipelines;
• For Canadians committed to protecting our biosphere, becoming an energy superpower must also include abundant investment in renewables generation, transmission and storage technologies that will support our low Greenhouse Gas emission economy;
• For Canadians committed to protecting our biosphere, becoming an energy superpower cannot include any further investment in power generation through burning coal;
• Canada has some of the best renewable energy resources on Earth, many of which are underdeveloped; and
• A commitment to matching, dollar for dollar, any federal investment, use of tax-credits or financial support for the development of hydrocarbon-based infrastructure with funding for renewables-based infrastructure would catalyse development of our renewable energy resources.
We, the undersigned, Citizens of Canada, call upon the Prime Minister to 1. Provide a legislative foundation that supports our stated commitment to protect our shared environment as we develop energy infrastructure by ensuring that any federal investment, use of tax-credits or financial support for the development of hydrocarbon-based infrastructure, including carbon capture and storage infrastructure, be matched, dollar for dollar, by federal funding for renewables-based infrastructure; and
1. Provide a legislative foundation that supports our stated commitment to protect our shared environment as we develop energy infrastructure by ensuring that any federal investment, use of tax-credits or financial support for the development of hydrocarbon-based infrastructure, including carbon capture and storage infrastructure, be matched, dollar for dollar, by federal funding for renewables-based infrastructure; and
2. Enact legislation to end coal-fired power generation by 2035.
