This is federal and provincial. But Notley and Trudeau are now seeing that the Alberta Economic Collapse is an entirely bad thing.
With the NDP realization is starting to grip them that their environmental tax strategy is going to hurt the economy.
For the Feds, I think they suddenly realized that when they reach into Alberta and Saskatchewans pockets for equalization dough they're going to find a 5 year old condom and an IOU

Quote:
The federal government is said to be so worried about the economic situation in Alberta it is planning a high-level council of politicians and business leaders to address the contracting economy.
But action to counter the mass layoffs and investment pull-back in the oilsands may be hampered by Ottawa’s own plans to combat climate change.
The measures taken by Rachel Notley’s NDP provincial government are unlikely to be enough to meet the global goal agreed to last weekend at the Paris climate change conference, and further action would add costs to businesses that are already beleaguered by new regulations, a carbon tax and a cap on production.
