Premier Smith not sold on killing of consumer carbon tax, wants industrial levy plan
Despite calling for its demise for years, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she isn't fazed by the new prime minister's move to kill the consumer carbon levy.
On Friday — moments after news broke that Prime Minister Mark Carney had eliminated the pricing scheme — Smith told reporters in Calgary the real test of the new federal government will be how it levies carbon pricing on industrial polluters.
"Every time I have heard the new prime minister speak, he has said that he doesn't think (industrial) prices are high enough," she said.
