Alberta’s new Minister of Environment and Protected Areas Rebecca Schulz had an in-person meeting Wednesday with her federal counterpart, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, and discussed Ottawa’s pending electricity regulations and emissions, but it wasn’t clear how much consensus, if any, the two jurisdictions reached on the issues.
“I informed Minister Guilbeault that our government remains resolutely opposed to any federal cap on oil and gas emissions or electricity regulations that are not expressly consented to by Alberta and that do not align with Alberta’s emissions reduction and energy development plan,” said Ms. Schulz in a statement following the meeting on July 19.
