The Pembina Institute strongly supports the Order Adding Toxic Substances to Schedule 1 to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), published in the Canada Gazette Part I on September 3, 2005 (p.2870–2880). This Order would add the six greenhouse gases (GHGs) specified in the Kyoto Protocol to Schedule 1 to CEPA. We urge the Government to enact the Order without delay.

Design Changes to the Investment Tax Credit for Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Submission to Department of Finance Canada
Pembina Institute submission to the Department of Finance Canada on the proposed design of its investment tax credit (ITC) for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) projects.
