Following new legislation that could lead to legal action for 'greenwashing', Canadian oil sands producers have stopped publicly discussing their emission-cutting activities. This silence has sparked concern among climate activists who argue for further reductions.

In June this year, a Canadian oil industry association struck back at the federal government by removing all information about emission-cutting activities from company websites. The move followed the passing of legislation that could potentially turn such information into grounds for legal action on the basis of greenwashing. So, oil sands producers stopped talking about emissions. Yet this has not stopped climate activists from pushing for more cuts.

' 'The greenwashing legislation doesn't preclude things like announcing final investment decisions on carbon capture projects or emissions reduction projects,' Matt Dreis, a senior oil and gas analyst at the Pembina Institute and author of the report, told Bloomberg. 'If we want to be leaders in that sector, we're going to need to get projects like this across the finish line,' he added.
