- Report #1: Assessment of Carbon Competitiveness in Canada’s Heavy Industrial Sectors
- The Commission’s first report identifies the unique competitiveness challenges faced by specific Canadian industries as they work to reduce their emissions. The status quo is not an option: all of them will need to lower their carbon footprints if they hope to compete globally and attract investment in a world that increasingly cares about the carbon embedded in traded goods.
- Report #2: Policies to Achieve Industrial Decarbonization in Sectors Facing Competitiveness Risks
- The second report makes recommendations to policymakers on how best to support industrial decarbonization, while ensuring that production doesn’t leave Canada for jurisdictions with less ambitious climate policies — a phenomenon called carbon leakage.
