CPA Out and About
December 2024

On December 15, the CPA participated in the Ontario Ministry of Finance’s 2025 Pre-Budget Consultation in Maitland, Ontario.

Our recommendations include:
✅ Expanding off-oil incentive programs to include affordable, lower-emission propane and renewable propane.
✅ Eliminating the 4.3 cents per litre fuel tax on auto propane to level the playing field with carbon-intense fuels like gasoline and diesel.
✅ Providing production tax credits to support the development of Ontario’s biofuels industry and lower carbon emissions.

On December 9, CPA’s Katie Kachur attended the Calgary Chamber of Commerce event that featured the Hon. Rebecca Schulz, AB Minister of Environment and Protected Areas. Minister Schulz shared her vision for Alberta’s energy future, highlighting opportunities for clean, reliable energy exports and the role of Alberta’s innovative energy industry in meeting global demand. She also addressed federal policy challenges, such as the Emissions Cap and Clean Electricity Regulations, and Alberta’s strategy to ensure economic prosperity while achieving environmental goals.
