Canada’s largest oil and gas lobby group, the Canadian Association of Petroleum
Producers (CAPP), is trying to exploit the COVID crisis and deliberately hide it
from the Canadian public.

A secret memo from CAPP to the federal government reveals that the lobby group
is using a global health crisis as an excuse to move forward on every measure
they have ever lobbied on, most of which have nothing to do with COVID-19 or its
impact on oil and gas companies. CAPP’s list of under-the-table requests include:

* Stop moving forward with any new climate policies
* Cancel plans to reform the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, putting
Canadians at ongoing risk from toxic chemicals
* Defer plans to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of
Indigenous People (UNDRIP)
* Pause planned increase to the federal carbon price
* Exempt projects with big carbon footprints from having to undergo
environmental impact assessments, indefinitely
* Delay federal methane regulations, or let weak provincial regulations take
over

Giving in to the oil and gas lobby’s requests puts Canadians at risk, threatens
birds, fish and other wildlife, and obliterates any hope for Canada in meeting
its international obligations to fight climate change. Tell the federal government to publicly reject these demands.

during these times. Push back against the industry’s attempt to take advantage of the COVID crisis
to secretly weaken our chance of a healthy and climate-safe future.
