Ottawa’s new fuel regulation doesn’t sit well with six provinces, as Alberta becomes the latest member to join forces with Saskatchewan and Atlantic Canada to oppose the new measure that comes into force on July 1.

Two days before the Clean Fuel Regulation (CFR) was enforced, Alberta’s Minister of Environment and Protected Areas Rebecca Schulz wrote to federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change Steven Guilbeault, calling on his government to “immediately halt” the implementation of the new policy.
