Notley asks for a pipeline in exchange for a pipeline (while implementing carbon pricing anyways).
Quote:
In a statement, Notley said that "in principle," Alberta supports a national price in that it "ensures that we are all making the same effort, and it ensures that no one is penalized economically."
But Alberta, which introduced its sweeping climate strategy in part to win public support for new oilsands pipelines, can't give its support to the federal plan now, she said.
"Alberta will not be supporting this proposal absent serious concurrent progress on energy infrastructure, to ensure we have the economic means to fund these policies," said Notley.
