Simon Donner, the former co-chair of Canada's Net-Zero Advisory Body, expressed disappointment over the recent pipeline deal between Ottawa and Alberta, stating it is not compatible with the country's net-zero emissions target for 2050. During a testimony before the House of Commons environment committee, he urged the government to be honest about the implications of such agreements. The deal, signed in May, includes commitments to reduce emissions and strengthen carbon pricing. However, modelling from the Canadian Climate Institute indicates that carbon pricing could only reach $130 per tonne by 2040, falling short of the previously established goal of $170 per tonne by 2030. Donner, alongside Catherine Abreu, who also resigned from the advisory body, criticized the lack of consultation from the Prime Minister's Office on significant changes to Canada's emissions strategy. They voiced concerns about the government's commitment to transitioning the economy towards sustainable practices, highlighting a growing disappointment among climate advocates with Prime Minister Mark Carney's leadership.
