Critics say direction from Alberta’s premier to her new environment minister lacks specifics on climate change.

The letter gives Rebecca Schulz 13 priorities, from developing regulations to release oilsands tailings into the environment to implementing a climate plan.

But New Democrat environment critic Jodi Calahoo Stonehouse says it does nothing to further the vague climate change strategy the government released in April.

Meanwhile, Simon Dyer of the Pembina Institute says it fails to set any near-term climate goals.
