Competition Bureau should investigate government for ‘greenwashing’: NDP
- NDP Parliamentary Leader Don Davies claims that government advertisements about building clean energy projects may violate Canada's greenwashing laws, citing statements by Prime Minister Mark Carney.
- The Competition Bureau defines greenwashing as false or misleading environmental claims about products, services, or practices.
- Davies argues that Carney admitted Canada's emissions will rise after rolling back some Trudeau-era climate policies and questions the government's environmental claims.
- The greenwashing law was passed under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and was later amended by Carney's government to reduce proof requirements and restrict third-party investigation requests.
