Canada's main oil-producing province Alberta on Wednesday released a climate plan aimed at reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, but did not announce any interim targets in a move that puts it at odds with the federal government.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government has targeted a 40-45% cut in emissions by 2030 and will need to see major reductions from Alberta, the country's highest-polluting province and the centre of the fossil fuel industry.
"That's a random target attached to a random date," Savage told a news conference in Calgary. "Before we regulate or impose limits on specific industries and interim targets there's more work to be done. We have to see what's achievable."The release of the climate plan comes ahead of a provincial election on May 29.
A provincial government statement on the climate plan called on Ottawa policymakers to "stay in their lane" and avoid interfering in provincial jurisdiction. Alberta is also exploring lowering its 100 megatonne cap on oil sands emissions, Savage said. The federal government plans to introduce a cap on oil and gas emissions, which Alberta has opposed on the grounds it would amount to a cap on production.
