Les subventions du gouvernement à la consommation et au développement d'hydrocarbures au Québec

The report finds that despite setting ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets for 2030 and 2050, the government of Québec continues to incentivize hydrocarbon consumption. Between 2011-12 and 2016-17, the government provided an average of 300 million dollars annually in fuel-tax relief, alongside other budgetary transfers and direct investments that contradict its stated goals of transitioning to a low-carbon economy.

• The government of Québec provided an average of 300 million dollars per year in fuel-tax relief between 2011-12 and 2016-17, which contradicts efforts to decrease hydrocarbon consumption.
• Québec has established a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target of 37.5% below 1990 levels by 2030, described as the most ambitious in Canada.
• Under its energy policy for 2030, the province aims to reduce the consumption of petroleum-based products by 40% and increase total renewable energy production by 25%.
• The government continues to encourage hydrocarbon use through tax exemptions, relief, budgetary transfers, and one-time direct investments, which run counter to its 2030 and 2050 GHG reduction commitments.
