Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall says today’s announcement by the federal government to phase out coal-fired power by 2030 has once again broken a commitment to work with the provinces on a national approach to climate change.
In a statement, Wall said Prime Minister Trudeau agreed to work with the provinces to develop a pan-Canadian plan for climate change that would be discussed at the next First Ministers’ meeting in early December. Wall said that commitment has been “violated” for a second time. The first time being the announcement of a national carbon tax, and now the accelerated phase out of coal-fired power.
