The table below attempts to summarize the commitments made by the political parties. As they don\u2019t always answer direct questions with clear responses, it is based on a combination of the parties\u2019 published platforms, responses to survey questions and assessments of independent experts (links below), as well as comments made by party leaders during the debates.<\/p>\n\n

A question mark indicates that the party\u2019s position is unclear. The previous Liberal government promised both an emissions cap for the oil and gas sector and a Nature Accountability law, but these did not appear in the party\u2019s platform.

If anyone from one of the parties wants to clarify their position, let us know!<\/p>\n\n
