Amid forecasts that Canada is not on target to reach its emissions reductions goals, on Friday the Canadian Association of Energy Contractors (CAOEC) predicted nearly 500 more wells next year, to 6,229 projects.
The fossil fuel industry argues the proposed caps are too restrictive. Despite its ambitious climate commitments, Canada is expected to miss its goal of cutting carbon emissions by at least 40% below 2005 levels by 2030.
Canada is the only G7 country that has not achieved any emissions reductions since 1990, Jerry DeMarco, commissioner of the environment and sustainable development, told reporters earlier this month.
