The Standing Committee on the Environment and Sustainable Development’s (Environment Committee) study on Clean Growth and Climate Change in Canada: The Built Environment focuses on the Pan Canadian Framework on Climate Change’s objectives related to buildings. These objectives include energy efficiency, clean and renewable energy use, clean technology, and net zero energy building practices, while maintaining affordability and advancing innovation.
The Canadian Gas Association’s (CGA) brief to the Environment Committee will discuss how the natural gas distribution industry currently supports Canada’s goals in these areas. We want to highlight how our infrastructure and our product are essential to a low-emission building future where Canadians continue to have access to clean, affordable, and reliable energy services for homes and buildings across the country.
