P., Minister of International Trade Dear Prime Minister and Honourable Ministers: We, the undersigned are writing to press upon the Government of Canada the importance of fulfilling its commitments to the G7 and G20 to reform and phase out fossil fuel subsidies in Canada over the medium term. [...] The Auditor General of Canada also expressed concerns about the continued subsidization of fossil fuels and a lack of transparency on the part of the federal government in tracking and reporting on subsidies. [...] Now is the moment, with an eye to the country’s 2018 G7 Presidency, for Canada to commit to undertaking a fossil fuel subsidy review under the G20 process. [...] We the undersigned, thank the Government of Canada for its commitment to climate action to date, but note that following through on commitment to fossil fuel subsidy reform, including the peer review under the G20 process, is essential to ensure continued progress. [...] Friends of the Earth Canada the Environment 23.
