In recent advice to the government, the Net Zero Advisory Body made clear that even a 50 to 55 per cent reduction wouldnt represent Canada doing its fair share in reducing greenhouse gas pollution. These will only keep increasing unless Canada seriously commits to replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy.
