Given Canada\u2019s record, the commitment to end public finance for the fossil fuel sector is significant and we will continue to push for rapid and ambitious action on this file. Under no condition should the federal government cave to the industry lobby for new subsidies, including those for fossil gas export projects under the guise of phony credits.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>ENDS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>For more information, please contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Laura Bergamo, Head of Media, Greenpeace Canada<\/p>\n\n<p><a
