The Government of Canada engaged with:

Key questions for discussion

Your ideas and input were sought around our approach to Canada’s non-tax measures in the context of phasing out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies. Specifically, we sought your feedback on:

  • Is the definition of “fossil fuel subsidy” and its associated criteria clear and practical? If not, what are your suggestions for improving them?
  • Is the criteria proposed to assess “inefficiency” clear and practical? If not, what are your suggestions for improving them?
  • Are there any other considerations that should be included in our approach?
