SUPPRIMER LES SUBVENTIONS À LA PRODUCTION DE COMBUSTIBLES FOSSILES AU CANADA

A policy brief calling for the total removal of fossil fuel production subsidies in Canada by 2020, arguing that such subsidies undermine carbon pricing and the transition to clean energy.

• The authors recommend that federal and provincial governments eliminate all subsidies for the exploitation of oil, natural gas, and coal by 2020, with a detailed phase-out schedule to be published in the 2017 budget.
• Fossil fuel subsidies are identified as a barrier to effective carbon pricing because they encourage emissions rather than reducing them, potentially undermining Canada's commitment to an economy-wide carbon price.
• Annual federal subsidies to the fossil fuel industry are estimated at a minimum of 1.8 billion USD, while provincial subsidies are estimated at at least 1.1 billion USD.
• The document warns that Canada may lose billions in tax revenue over the next decade due to accelerated capital cost allowance (ACCA) for pre-production costs of new projects, specifically liquefied natural gas (LNG).
• The authors argue that continued government support for oil and gas exploration and development risks neutralizing the greenhouse gas reduction benefits of the 'Mission Innovation' program, which aims to invest 775 million USD in clean energy by 2020.
• Specific provincial subsidies targeted for removal include Alberta's royalty assistance programs for oil and gas projects and British Columbia's deep drilling tax credit.
