OTTAWA — The federal government’s plan for capping emissions in the oil and gas sector, announced Thursday to coincide with the COP28 climate conference in Dubai, wasn’t as bad as Alberta’s worst fears but still earned a fiery rebuke from the province’s premier.
The policy, which aims to cap 2030 emissions at 35 to 38 per cent below 2019 levels, may be symbolic of the Liberal government’s declining zeal for what was once its flagship policy: the carbon tax.
