report, released last month, urges fast action and closer coordination between the provinces and Ottawa. It calls for a plan "throughout the country with an aligned mindset" spanning the energy, financial, transportation, mining, construction, and agriculture sectors to meet Canada's goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.
Simon Dyer is deputy executive director of the Pembina Institute, and previously led the think tank's oilsands research. He says "a fair amount of antagonism across the country" is stifling needed cooperation. "Alberta has to be the biggest part of the solution," Dyer added. "The failure of Alberta to act is why the federal government is having to consider a national approach."Despite Smith's promise to protect her province from over-reaching federal policies "inflicted on Albertans," Mortlock sees the relationship moving in the right direction, albeit more slowly than is needed for Canada to hit net-zero by 2050.
