That, given recent comments made by Suncor CEO Richard Kruger throwing into doubt their previously made commitments to reduce harmful GHG emissions, and reflecting a disturbing trend among major Oil & Gas producers; and

given the fact that Suncor tripled its profits in a single year while pledging to eliminate 20% of its workforce and already laying off 1,500 workers this year; and

given that the fact that Canadians have this summer witnessed the effects of unprecedented catastrophic climate disasters, a crisis that any reasonable person would recognize as showing the urgency for GHG emissions reductions; and

given that the Canadian Oil & Gas sector are responsible for 28% of GHG emissions in Canada; and

given that Canadians are counting on leaders in the Canadian Oil & Gas sector to do their part to tackle the global climate change crisis; and

pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Standing Committee on Natural Resources invite Suncor CEO Rich Kruger to committee to explain why he believes that the only “urgency” facing the oil sector is to make as much money as possible while increasing production and abandoning their responsibility to help meet Canada's international climate commitments; that, given the urgency of the climate crisis, Mr. Kruger be invited to appear as soon as possible; that a report of this meeting be prepared and reported to the House; and that, pursuant to Standing Order 109, the government table a comprehensive response to the report.
