Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she will stand tall on her position against the federal government’s plan of net zero by 2035.

Smith said the next step is going to be asking if the three other provinces who find themselves in this position Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia will join Alberta to challenge Ottawa over commitments to decarbonize Alberta’s electricity grid to net zero by 2035.

Although the federal government has the authority to enter into treaties such as the Paris Accord, it’s up to the provinces to implement those commitments. And those commitments set a deadline of 2050, not 2035.
