A letter from the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment and other organizations to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urging the federal government to maintain or strengthen ambitious regulations for methane emissions in the oil and gas sector.

• The signatories request that the federal regulations for methane emissions in the oil and gas sector, scheduled for finalization in 2018, be at least as ambitious as the draft regulations published in Canada Gazette I in May 2017.
• The authors express concern that the oil and gas lobby and provincial governments may pressure the federal government to weaken the methane regulations, which they argue would erode public confidence and reduce incentives for deploying clean technologies.
• The letter asserts that for provincial regulations to be granted equivalency under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the federal government must ensure those provincial measures deliver cumulative greenhouse gas reductions that are the same as or greater than the federal regulations.
• The organizations emphasize that strong regulations meeting or exceeding Canada's 2025 reduction target are necessary to fulfill international climate commitments and encourage the oil and gas industry to find deep greenhouse gas reduction solutions.
