Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says he’ll be raising the alarm over the federal government’s emissions reduction plan as Canada’s premiers are gathered for the Council of the Federation meeting in Victoria.

Kenney says the reduction plan is “pie in the sky,” calling it a “ridiculous” target with no proper plan for implementation.

The federal plan released earlier this year is aimed at capping oil and gas sector emissions to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and reducing oil and gas methane emissions by at least 75 per cent by 2030.

Kenney, who spoke yesterday at his annual Calgary Stampede breakfast, says the implications of the plan would be devastating for Alberta just as the world needs more of its energy.
