British Columbia Premier David Eby is questioning a new federal agreement that allows Alberta to implement a lower carbon price of 130 dollars per tonne by 2040. Eby argues that national climate policies should be negotiated with all provinces rather than through bilateral deals with specific premiers. The dispute comes as the federal government and Alberta move forward with plans for a new pipeline to the West Coast. B.C. is pushing for similar federal support for its own portfolio of major infrastructure and energy projects.
