So all these companies are massively profitable, carry the responsibility of managing their own waste, but Alberta taxpayers have to fund their cleanup projects? Please someone make this make sense, because it seems to me they can pay afford to pay for it themselves, and the government already decided they are responsible to do so. How is it they get the profits, and we pay for the cleanup?

Are you aware how TIER is funded?
Essentially you are forcing companies to pollute to use taxes assessed on pollution to clean up pollution.
Now personally I don’t think carbon taxes should go into carbon reducing products so I am against this. But I seem to recall you want Carbon taxes to go into pollution reducing activities so you should favour the current version of TIER
