For this week’s deeper dive, a look at the climate plans from the parties.

Last week, Justine Hunter, a Globe and Mail political reporter based out of Victoria, explained why this was a federal election campaign without a climate plan.

Long story short: While trade dominates, the environment is taking a back seat among other issues this election cycle. “The two main parties vying to form the next government have spent little time debating the future of Canada’s climate action plans,” she writes.

In last week’s Morning Update newsletter, Justine highlighted some of the points from each party, and why climate has fallen down the list in importance this year.

Here are some quick highlights or promises from party platforms; to see the full list check out our voter’s guide.

Liberals

• Improve the system for industrial carbon pricing (they already scraped consumer carbon pricing)
• Work with provinces and territories on ways that large emitters can support the consumer adoption of items such as heat pumps and electric vehicles.
• Extend tax credits for carbon removal and sequestration to 2035, and speed up the approval of clean-energy projects.
• Protect more freshwater from foreign actors by developing a national water security strategy, create at least 10 national parks and marine conservation areas and bolster Indigenous stewardship.

Conservatives

• Repeal the law facilitating all carbon pricing, including the federal industrial carbon tax backstop for provinces and territories without their own systems in place.
• Scrap the emissions cap on oil and gas production.
• Use tax credits to reward clean manufacturing and production to help lower emissions.
• Use Article 6 of the Paris Agreement to export cleaner resources such as liquified natural gas and technologies to help lower global emissions.

NDP

• Keep the industrial carbon pricing.
• Eliminate oil and gas subsidies, redirecting $18-billion to a home retrofit program.
• Pass an environmental bill of rights and establish an office of environmental justice.
• Introduce a border-carbon adjustment (ensure imported goods are subject to the same carbon pricing as domestically produced goods).
• Retrofit 3.3 million homes with energy-saving upgrades, saving up to $4,500 a year for each family.

Bloc Québécois

• Ensure that Quebec’s environmental policy takes precedence over federal laws.
• Ensure that federal decisions are assessed for their effect on the Paris Agreement’s efforts to limit global warming.
• A cap on GHG emissions from Canada’s oil and gas sector, as well as the elimination of all subsidies to the fossil fuel sector.
• Push for a tax on the profits of oil and gas companies and invest the revenues in adaptation.
• End offshore oil exploration in marine protected areas.

Green Party

• A series of deadlines for key points of climate action that include: a ban on the sale of passenger gas vehicles by 2030, measures to enable the delivery of 100-per-cent renewable electricity to Canadians by 2035, and a full phase-out of fossil-fuel production and exports by 2045.
• A “Polluter Pays Act” that would ensure companies responsible for environmental damage bear the full cost of cleanup and climate adaptation.
