罢翱搁翱狈罢翱鈥Rick Smith, President of the 91色情片, issued the following statement on the results of the 2025 federal election:
“The 91色情片 congratulates Mark Carney and the Liberal Party of Canada on their success in the federal election. The Institute looks forward to working with the Carney government on policy solutions that will enhance Canada鈥檚 sovereignty and energy security, while also reducing emissions, enabling low-carbon economic growth, and building more resilient homes and infrastructure.聽
“Accelerating Canada鈥檚 progress on climate change is an economic imperative in this time of global economic upheaval and uncertainty. Canada has an opportunity to act on climate change in ways that grow our economy and support Canadian innovation, invest in our communities, capitalize on our competitive advantages, and expand our trade horizons. Faced with ongoing aggression from the U.S. and efforts to hobble U.S. clean energy innovation and climate research, implementing cost-effective, Canadian-made climate solutions are an important tool to support Canadian workers, protect communities, and strengthen our economy.聽
“We urge the new federal government to act swiftly to , implement for the oil and gas sector, enact Canada鈥檚 Clean Electricity Tax Credit, and establish a made-in-Canada climate taxonomy for Canada鈥檚 financial sector. Decisive action on these priorities will accelerate low-carbon growth while enhancing Canada鈥檚 competitiveness and economic resilience.聽
“Although the costs of climate-related damages are already driving up the cost of living for Canadians, our homes, communities and businesses are ill-equipped for a future of increasingly extreme weather. Smart action to address climate-related threats can help limit future damages, while keeping the cost of living down and supporting jobs and economic diversification.聽
“The Institute鈥檚 research has found that climate change-related damages in 2025 could already be worth half a year of Canada鈥檚 economic growth. Meanwhile, despite the Trump Administration鈥檚 efforts to block investments in clean energy and innovation, the costs of low-carbon technologies , and of global electricity generation was produced by non-emitting sources last year. For Canada, acting now to limit damage from climate change and capitalize on the global energy transition represents a generational opportunity we can鈥檛 afford to pass up.鈥澛
