The National Observer zooms in on AB-Ottawa/Federal government energy MOU, as proposing:

🪔 "to slash-and-burn a series of climate policies" affecting clean electricity regulations, the oil and gas emissions cap and the oil tanker moratorium on B.C.'s coast

🪔 "dramatic reversal in policy that would allow carbon capture tax credits to be used for "enhanced oil recovery" (pumping more oil out of the ground using captured carbon dioxide) — despite that being explicitly excluded in the federal budget"

Former 🇨🇦 Cabinet Minister Steven Guilbeault states:

🚨"the government isn't being honest with the public and is betraying its commitments"

Former 🇨🇦 Cabinet Minister Steven Guilbeault states re AB-Ottawa/Federal government energy MOU:

“We have abandoned 2030 [climate targets]; there's no way we can achieve that. I think it lacks the honesty that Canadians deserve on this issue. It's disingenuous."

Former 🇨🇦 Cabinet Minister Steven Guilbeault states re AB-Ottawa/Federal government energy MOU:

The budget “explicitly mentioned that we're excluding "enhanced oil recovery" from the tax credit -- a demand from Green Party Leader Elizabeth May that Guilbeault had communicated to Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne as her red line.

“Then Elizabeth votes for us with the budget, and then, we turn around two weeks later, barely, and we include this in the MOU with Alberta."

"This is unacceptable, I gave my word to Elizabeth, we gave our word as a party to Elizabeth, and we're betraying our word to her.”
