Quebec dials back emissions projections due to global uncertainty
MONTREAL – The Quebec government is scaling back its projections for cutting greenhouse-gas emissions due to the arrival of the Trump administration. An annual report published today says actions being taken by the province to reduce emissions should account for 65 per cent of the cuts needed to reach the government's 2030 emissions target. That's down two points from an estimated 67 per cent last year. The report says the change is due to the Trump administration's decision to impose tariffs, which has had the effect of slowing investment in decarbonization, and its attempts to challenge carbon pricing mechanisms of various U.S. states. It also says the Canadian government's decision to scrap the federal consumer carbon price could harm the competitiveness of Quebec businesses. Still, it says that greenhouse-gas emissions dropped in Quebec between 2022 and 2023, and that Quebec reported record sales of electric vehicles in 2024. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 19, 2025.

But the government insists the legislation is necessary in the face of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, after the Liberals won a minority government in the April 28 election while promising to supercharge economic growth and reduce Canada's reliance on the unpredictable United States.
