Pathways Alliance, a Canadian oil sands industry group, has removed all its online content, including climate messages, in response to federal Bill C-59. The bill, currently before the Senate, mandates companies to provide evidence to support their environmental claims. This legislation, introduced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government, aims to combat greenwashing by imposing significant fines for false environmental claims. Pathways Alliance cited the law's requirement for claims to be backed by globally recognized methodologies as creating significant uncertainty.
