Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith are set to meet in Calgary to confirm and announce the next step in their energy pact, according to multiple reports. Global News says both leaders are confirmed to be in Calgary on Friday for an announcement related to the landmark agreement. CBC News reports that the meeting is expected to focus on the future of industrial carbon emission pricing in Alberta, with officials anticipating an agreement tied to the provincial carbon-price framework.
The coverage indicates the leaders are coordinating around the policy direction of industrial carbon emissions pricing, signaling continued implementation planning after earlier elements of the broader energy deal. Both outlets describe the announcement as the next stage of the pact, rather than a final resolution on all related matters. The exact details of what will be announced are not included in the provided summaries, but the common thread is that the meeting in Calgary will address industrial carbon pricing going forward in Alberta.
