Summary:
- Canada has competitive advantages in its sectors when it comes to greenhouse gas and CO2 emissions.
- When Canada’s production is displaced due to policy, domestic greenhouse gas emissions decrease while global emissions increase
- Reducing regulatory and tax burdens increase employment and net profit
- It increases production in Canada where our emissions are lower which leads to higher domestic emissions but lower global emissions
- Increase domestic emissions can be offset somewhere else
