A timeline of a cabinet resignation: Inside Guilbeault's decision to resign

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : It included not only the pulling back of multiple regulations to cut emissions, but it also included language extending eligibility for federal investment tax credits to enhanced oil recovery projects.
54% : Under his leadership there, the federal government moved on multiple regulations and climate policies.
53% : ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Originally the federal tax credits excluded enhanced oil recovery, a carbon-storage technology that captures carbon dioxide from industrial emitters, and injects it back underground at oilfields.
52% : Guilbeault and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May had both heard rumours before the federal budget was tabled that it was going to amend the tax credits to include enhanced oil recovery.
51% : Those included legislation to enshrine Canada's emissions goals, and regulations including the oil and gas emissions cap, electric vehicle sales mandates, methane reductions from oil production and clean electricity regulations to get Canada's grid to net-zero, initially by 2035, a date that was later pushed to 2050.
50% : Adding enhanced oil recovery to tax credits is considered by environmental leaders, including Guilbeault, to be a direct subsidy for oil production, and it was purposely excluded from the original tax credits for that reason.
41% : It was the first time Guilbeault and other Liberals got to see what was really on the table, and the scale of the pullback from environmental policies, including the clean electricity regulations -- without an equivalent and substantial increase in industrial pricing -- and opening the door to exempting a new pipeline from the oil tanker ban of B.C.'s coast.
