Alberta's energy path central to Canada's economic health, Trudeau tells business delegation

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the future health of Canada’s economy hinges largely on how well Alberta adapts to changes in the energy landscape.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau meets with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith as Canada's premiers meet in Ottawa on Feb. 7.

"Politics and other challenges have us divided or people pointing out differences, but the fact of the matter is we don't build the right future for Canada if Alberta isn't at the centre of everything we do." The three-day visit set out to find more areas of collaboration with the federal government and show that "Alberta is not what you think it is," according to Adam Legge, president of the Business Council of Alberta.

Both levels of government agree that 2050 is the year to hit net-zero total emissions, but Ottawa has set 2035 as the target to make the country's electricity grid emissions-neutral — a timeline Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has vowed to fight.
