Climate minister says EV mandate scrapped for ‘more durable,’ ‘pragmatic’ policy | Power & Politics

From CBC News.

Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin says the Liberals are ‘still driving forward on reducing emissions’ despite scrapping the EV mandate and other Trudeau-era policies, saying it’s important that the new approach is making reductions ‘in a way that’s durable.’ Confronted with a 2024 estimate that Canada will need hundreds of thousands of chargers above what her government announced funding for Tuesday, Dabrusin says the Liberals’ commitment to EVs will create the case for businesses to build them: ‘some of it is the signal, just the signal.’
