Abstract

Amy Taylor, Matthew Bramley, and Mark Winfield, The Pembina Institute for Appropriate Development. This report, commissioned by the Climate Action Network Canada, identifies and quantifies federal government expenditure on Canada's oil and gas sector. It also investigates both federal and provincial support for oil sands developments. Useful information, though the subsidy numbers were lower than expected for resource-rich Canada. There may be programs or subsidy types that have not yet been counted.
