“The focus for Canada needs to be on enhancing the competitiveness of our key industries and positioning them to deliver the growth and diversification needed to strengthen our economy. The industrial carbon pricing framework proposed in the federal government’s Driving Effective Carbon Markets in Canada discussion paper will introduce increased complexity and cost across Canada’s major industries, making us uncompetitive with global peers. There needs to be a concerted effort to work with industries and provinces on a wholistic assessment of carbon pricing with a view on making Canada one of the best places in the world for oil and natural gas investment.”
