Premier Danielle Smith accused Federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault of displaying \u0022utter contempt\u0022 for Alberta.
“Under no scenario will the Government of Alberta permit the implementation of the proposed federal electricity regulations or contemplated oil and gas emissions cap,” it reads.
“However, this must be done in a collaborative and respectful fashion without Minister Guilbeault’s continued threats to the economic well-being of Albertans and Canadians.” This fall, Guilbeault intends to publish draft regulations to cap emissions from oil and gas production and then force them downward over time. Oil and gas contributed 28 per cent of Canada’s total emissions in 2021, and the oilsands alone account for 13 per cent.
