Alberta Premier Danielle Smith responds to Ottawa's carbon emissions cut | LIVE

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith will speak to media following Ottawa's release of new regulations that will require oil and gas producers to cut greenhouse gas emissions by one-third over the next eight years. The regulations, still only in draft format and about two years behind schedule, could further strain relations between Ottawa and the Alberta government, which recently launched a $7-million advertising campaign to “scrap the cap.” For the Liberals, the regulations fulfil a 2021 election promise to force the energy sector to pull its weight in the fight against climate change. Guilbeault said the oil and gas industry is a major source of emissions, but that it has done less than most other sectors to reduce them in the battle against climate change.
