This is an important issue, especially when it comes to shared federal and provincial jurisdictions.
Right now, as I was saying earlier, the federal government is failing to ensure that the provinces put an effective price on carbon for industry.
In addition, we must ensure that the federal system is regulated. That's what some of our members, like Ecojustice and West Coast Environmental Law, are suggesting.
The provinces have to trust that the government is going to put in place a federal backstop if they don't meet the criteria. As you described in the case of Alberta, the federal government made no move whatsoever to step in. Federal policy is ineffective in such circumstances.
