Ambitious and achievable is how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is describing his government's new climate plan.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government's new climate action plan is its boldest and most specific step yet.
Trudeau says it is ambitious because it will get the country to 40 per cent lower emissions by 2030 compared with 2005 and keep Canada on track to net zero by 2050.
It projects the oil and gas industry will need to cut emissions by 42 per cent by 2030 if the country is to meet its targets.
Oil and gas accounts for more than one-quarter of Canada's total greenhouse gas emissions, and the sector's carbon footprint has grown 20 per cent since 2005.
