Energy growth study questions Canada's climate pledges
A University of Victoria study led by David Hughes argues Canada cannot hit its Paris climate targets while expanding oil sands and LNG exports without harming the broader economy. He says emissions cuts required from other sectors would be too large, potentially crippling growth, unless technology or policy changes reduce oil and gas emissions.
