Alberta ministers clash over oil price policy and tax shelter law
Notley and cabinet ministers criticize Ottawa for revoking an oil price agreement and repeal of a tax shelter for public utilities. Notley warns a $1 a barrel rise in domestic crude could lift Canadian wellhead prices above U.S. levels, harming competitiveness and prompting a negotiated approach to tariff and freight rates. He argues keeping prices below U.S. levels may benefit Alberta’s economy more than a price hike.
