On the heels of the first meeting of the Alberta-Ottawa working group, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she recognizes that interim steps need to be in place when it comes to emissions reductions in oil and gas — even if there is yet to be alignment on when and how that should take place.
The relationship between federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, left, and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, right, has been contentious in recent weeks. A working group of the federal and provincial governments focused on emissions reduction and energy development held its first meeting earlier this week.
"There's a number of different things that we've got to put in place to enable that. And it requires the federal and provincial government working together. We want to get the common set of facts … we recognize there has to be some kind of interim steps so that people can see progress." "Capital Power has been very open in saying that they believe they can get a 2045 emissions target. Some of the other electricity companies would say that they can do it a little bit faster. Some others say they need a little bit more," she said. Capital Power is a power generation company based in Edmonton.
