CALGARY — The NDP criticized on Tuesday freshly-unveiled clean fuel standards, after a government impact analysis said higher fuel costs will hit lower- and middle-income households hardest.
The Clean Fuel Standard, a key part of Ottawa’s climate plan, was released in draft form last week and aims to reduce the carbon content of liquid fuels, such as those used in transportation and to heat homes. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals say it will cut annual emissions by more than 20 megatons by 2030.
