A Healthy Environment and a Healthy Economy

The Plan will achieve its objectives through five pillars: 1) Making the Places Canadians Live and Gather More Affordable by Cutting Energy Waste; this entails that energy efficient homes and buildings will be more comfortable and cost less and consequently this will cut pollution and create job and careers. 2) Making Clean, Affordable Transportation and Power Available in Every Community; this will be done by expanding the supply of clean electricity through investments in renewable and next-generation clean energy and technology, and encourage cleaner modes of transportation. 3) Continuing to Ensure Pollution isn’t Free and Households Get More Money Back; the Government will continue to put a price on carbon while ensuring that the majority of households receive more money back than they pay. 4) Building Canada’s Clean Industrial Advantage; through performance standards, investments and incentives, Canada will accelerate the work that its companies and innovators are doing to cut pollution and move to a cleaner economy, this will protect and create jobs now and into the future. 5) Embracing the Power of Nature to Support Healthier Families and More Resilient Communities: just as nature is under threat by climate change, it is also as an ally in the fight against it. By planting trees and protecting its lands and oceans the Plan aims at cutting pollution, make communities more resilient to extreme weather and create thousands of jobs.
