OTTAWA — Canada's detailed plan to reach its greenhouse-gas emissions targets in 2030 is coming up short, the federal environment commissioner said Tuesday in a new audit.
Jerry DeMarco did a deep dive into the government's Emissions Reduction Plan as part of a series of fall audits tabled in the House of Commons.
DeMarco said Canada has never met any of its previous emissions targets, and this plan still has the country coming up several million tonnes short of hitting the next target in 2030. DeMarco found the measures in the Emissions Reduction Plan would only reduce current levels by about one-quarter by then.
