A coalition of environmental and labor organizations calls on the Canadian government to maintain or strengthen draft methane regulations for the oil and gas sector to meet 2025 reduction targets and Paris Agreement commitments, warning against industry and provincial pressure to weaken these rules.

• The authors request that the final federal regulations for methane emissions in the oil and gas sector, scheduled for finalization in 2018, be "at least as ambitious as draft regulations published in Canada Gazette I in May 2017."
• The coalition expresses concern that the government's approach to methane regulation may be negatively influenced by "pressure from provinces and the oil and gas lobby".
• The document argues that for provincial regulations to be granted equivalency under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the federal government must verify that provincial measures provide "the same or greater cumulative greenhouse gas reductions as the federal regulations".
• The authors assert that strong regulations meeting or exceeding the 2025 reduction target are necessary to incentivize the oil and gas industry to find solutions for "deep greenhouse gas reductions" and to encourage the deployment of "clean technologies".
