CALGARY \u2014 Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith say they’ll be in Calgary on Friday to announce the next step in their landmark energy pact.<\/p>\n
Carney says it will feature an implementation agreement on industrial carbon pricing and advance a potential new pipeline.<\/p>\n
Neither he nor Smith shared more details, but the premier told the legislative assembly it would be another step toward resetting the province’s relationship with Ottawa.<\/p>\n
The memorandum of understanding signed last year saw the two governments commit to a number of steps to eventually have a bitumen pipeline built to the West Coast.<\/p>\n
A source with knowledge of the discussions has said the two leaders are expected to announce an industrial carbon emission price of $130 per tonne by 2040.<\/p>\n
Last year, Alberta froze its price at $95 per tonne.<\/p>\n
The agreement would force Ottawa to be more lenient with other provinces that follow the federal price as well, as a judge ruled in 2021 that all jurisdictions needed equal treatment for carbon pricing.<\/p>\n
