RELATED VIDEO : Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is threatening to invoke the Alberta Sovereignty Within A United Canada Act to prevent the province from being subjected to the federal government's cap on oil and gas emissions. Heather Yourex-West explains the brewing battle.sector before announcing a sweeping set of plans it says it could use to challenge the proposed federal greenhouse gas emissions cap, industry sources say.
“That’s where we would like to be collaborated with. We would like to be talked to, to see how that would specifically work,” he said.Smith also said the provincial government will consider instructing provincial authorities, such as the Alberta Energy Regulator, not to enforce the cap. And she said Alberta would consider barring federal officials from physically setting foot on oil and gas facilities.
The proposed federal emissions cap, which is still in draft form, would require oil and gas companies to cut emissions by 35 per cent below 2019 levels by 2030. “We support and applaud the provincial government exploring all potential tools to push back against this unfair and discriminatory policy, and have told the premier we would lend support to a legal challenge,” Legge said in an emailed statement.
“It just looks like more fighting, more risk, and to companies, will probably look like another example of governments who can’t get their act together to try to come up with some kind of attractive investment environment in our country.” Under Alberta’s Sovereignty Act, the government must first put a motion forward in the legislative assembly identifying a federal matter at issue and outlining potential steps the government should take to overcome it.
