Wrong Move at the Wrong Time: Economic Impacts of the New Federal Building Energy Efficiency Mandates is a new study that finds the cost of a newly constructed home in Canada will increase by $55,000, on average, by 2030 as a result of the federal government’s proposed energy efficiency regulations for buildings. Crucially, the stricter building regulations will only reduce Canada’s total emissions by 0.9 per cent.

Canada’s GHG Cap on the Oil and Gas Industry Is All Pain With No Gain finds that the federal government’s planned cap on greenhouse gas emissions, which will inevitably reduce oil and gas production in Canada, will cost the Canadian economy at least $44.8 billion in 2030—without any substantive effect on global emissions.
