Share your thoughts: Proposed amendments to the Output-Based Pricing System Regulations

Current status: open 

This consultation opened on November 9, 2024, and will close to new input on January 8, 2025.

Environment and Climate Change Canada is seeking feedback on the proposed Regulations Amending the Output-Based Pricing System Regulations (proposed Regulations). These amendments are proposed to enable the cross-recognition of certain Canadian offset credits under the proposed Oil and Gas Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions Cap Regulations and the federal Output-Based Pricing System (OBPS).

In practice, these proposed changes would not change how offset credits and recognized units are remitted under the OBPS. The changes would allow for the same offset credit or recognized unit to be remitted by the same operator under the OBPS and the proposed Oil and Gas Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions Cap Regulations for coinciding remittance obligations and under the conditions identified in these proposed regulations.

Join in: how to participate 

Interested parties are encouraged to provide feedback on the proposed Regulations Amending the Output-Based Pricing System Regulations using the online commenting feature of the Canada Gazette until January 8, 2025. 

The comments received will be considered when developing the final Regulations.
