Federal environment minister says he'll work with Atlantic premiers, but carbon price deadline stands
“. . .
Nova Scotia NDP Leader Claudia Chender called the ads by Houston's government "a lot of smoke and mirrors to try to avoid our commitments as this deadline looms."
"They not only are fighting against this carbon tax, but they're refusing to come up with a substantive alternative," she said.
"We know, and the minister knows and the premier knows that what is required by the federal system is a price on carbon. Nothing in anything that has been submitted by our Houston government here prices carbon. So they're not doing their homework."
