Federal Government Engages Alberta and Oil Industry in Emissions Cap Discussions
CARBON CAPTURE
The federal government is in talks with Alberta and the oil sector regarding the future of the emissions cap imposed on oil and gas production. Energy Minister Tim Hodgson emphasized the need for a fundamental change in emissions intensity, while Alberta Premier Danielle Smith highlighted the cap as a barrier to investment.
Discussions are ongoing, with the potential for a revised timeline for implementation. Critics warn that diluting climate policies could hinder Canada's ability to meet its emissions reduction targets.
