Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s postponement of a long-standing promise to impose climate regulations on the oil and gas sector until he can persuade the U.S. to adopt similar measures could delay action at least three years.
Mr. Harper signalled before Christmas that emissions regulations for the oil and gas sector need to be done “in concert with” the United States, and reiterated that position in a recent interview with Bloomberg News. Alberta Premier Alison Redford has also said Canada cannot afford to move alone on regulations that would impose costs on producers in Canada that are not borne by those in competing jurisdictions in the U.S.
