At committee: Emissions cap for energy sector, pandemic recovery and cryptocurrency – iPolitics
Feb 9, 2022
For the second time this week, NATURAL RESOURCES members have blocked off an hour to hear from Net-Zero Advisory Board co-chairs Marie-Pierre Ippersiel and Dan Wicklum, who were initially expected to testify on the proposed greenhouse gas emissions cap for the oil and gas sector on Monday, but “failed to show up,” according to a press release from Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner. The pair have now been “re-invited” to appear, and are back on the witness list today. (1-2 PM)
Later this afternoon, the committee will hear from the Canadian Association of Energy Contractors, Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, Explorers and Producers Association of Canada and Shell Canada, as well as Climate Action Network Canada. (3:30 – 5:30 PM)
