One example is the federal government\u2019s passage of the  <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cqde.org\/nos-actions\/loi-c5\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Act respecting national interest projects <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(C-5)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, whose legality is being challenged in court by the CQDE \u2013 which aims to expedite project approvals by, among other things, allowing environmental legislation to be circumvented. Added to this is the most recent  <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/one-canadian-economy\/services\/simplifying-canada-process\/engagement-supporting-timely-decision-making\/getting-major-projects-built-canada-discussion-paper-proposed-legislative-regulatory-policy-reforms.html\">working paper<\/a>, <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">published this spring, which foreshadows a historic rollback of environmental protections.<\/span> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe are witnessing a historic rollback of our legal and democratic protections. The environmental safeguards that took generations to build are being swept away in a matter of months, and it will take years just to get back to square one, while the environmental crisis, for its part, is already taking its toll,\u201d affirms Genevi\u00e8ve Paul, executive director of the CQDE.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Accelerated approvals and public funding for a new oil pipeline<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The government has emphasized its intention to designate the pipeline project as being in<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the \u201cnational interest\u201d under <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Act respecting national interest projects<\/span><\/i> (C-5)<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and to finance it with public funds.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This project could thus benefit from both a relaxation of applicable environmental standards and financial support from the government. A project designated under this law would, in fact, receive a fast-track approval process and would allow the government to exempt it from the application of several key federal laws and regulations, or to modify their scope at its discretion. <\/span><\/p><h4><b>Potentially internationally wrongful act that is inconsistent with our GHG reduction targets<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canada is in breach of its international obligations regarding the fight against climate change, as outlined in the advisory opinion issued on July 23, 2025, by the International Court of Justice (ICJ). In its advisory opinion, the ICJ clarified states\u2019 obligations to protect the climate system from greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the legal consequences of failing to meet these obligations. The Court asserts that states must act with a high degree of diligence to prevent significant environmental harm. It specifies, in particular, that granting fossil fuel exploration licenses or the provision of fossil fuel subsidies may constitute an internationally wrongful act that engages state liability and gives rise to an obligation to remedy the resulting harm.    <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, Canada has ratified the Paris Agreement and has incorporated several of its obligations into Canadian legislation through the adoption<\/span> of <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Under this framework, Canada has committed to setting and communicating ambitious national greenhouse gas reduction targets and to taking ambitious national measures to mitigate climate change.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, recent announcements regarding the anticipated increase in greenhouse gas emissions associated with these new projects clearly indicate that the reduction targets of 45 to 50 percent by 2035 will not be met, which in turn substantially jeopardizes the achievement of the carbon net-zero emissions goal for 2050. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe scientific consensus is clear: a rapid, deep, and sustained reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions is essential to achieving international climate goals and protecting people. Yet Canada has chosen to increase its oil production. In doing so, it is turning its back on science and the commitments it has made. This defies all logic and common sense, even from an economic standpoint,\u201d decries Genevi\u00e8ve Paul.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For all these reasons, the CQDE calls on the government to immediately reassess its priorities and align its decisions with the climate emergency \u2013 both to protect the health and safety of Canadians and to uphold Canada\u2019s credibility on the international stage, at a time when all eyes are on us.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 30 \u2013<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Montr\u00e9al, July 9, 2026 &#8211;The Centre qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois du droit de l&#8217;environnement (CQDE) is deeply concerned by the federal government\u2019s recent announcements regarding new oil pipeline projects and the de facto abandonment of its climate objectives, at a time when the climate emergency demands strong and immediate action.
