One of the Conservatives’ key promises was doing away with an unpopular consumer carbon pricing pricing programme put in by former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Liberal leader Mark Carney repealed it in his first week as prime minister. A similar tax on large industrial emitters, however, remains in place.
The Liberals have vowed to “improve” that tax to maintain the push on reducing emissions while ensuring Canadian companies are still competitive.
They plan to support carbon removal and sequestration technologies and speed approval of clean energy projects.
Conservatives say they will repeal all carbon pricing, which they say will in turn reduce regulations and help boost the economy.
They also want to scrap a cap on oil and gas emissions, and do away with Bill C-69, an environmental assessment act for major infrastructure.
They have promised to bring in a tax credit to boost clean Canadian manufacturing to help lower emissions.
The Liberals, on the other hand, want to build a Canada east-west electricity grid, though Carney has said that he, too, is open to the construction of new pipelines to reduce dependence on the US.
The NDP said they would keep the industrial carbon price, and is against building an LNG pipeline in Quebec.
It also opposes a proposed pipeline that would transfer oil from Alberta to New Brunswick, prioritising an east-west electricity grid instead.
The NDP, the Bloc and the Green Party want to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies while the Bloc wants a cap on oil-and-gas sector emissions.
The Greens additionally want to transition to a fully renewable electricity system by eliminating coal, oil, and gas-fired power generation and invest in solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy.
They also want to cancel all new pipelines and oil exploration projects.
