Guilbeault asks Alberta minister to ‘correct’ column on emissions reduction

In his letter, sent Friday, Guilbeault says Nixon misread a graph and got his facts wrong.“I want to correct the record on what this plan does and does not do,” he writes.The first sentence of Nixon’s column, published Saturday, read “Alberta will not accept production cuts in the insane climate plan released by the Liberal-NDP coalition.”He backs that up with reference to numbers pulled from the federal document. He writes they prove the federal plan is an attempt to reduce oil and gas production and economic activity in Alberta that would destroy the province’s quality of life.That’s not what the numbers say, wrote Guilbeault.The reductions Nixon points to refer instead to the differences in projected production with and without the emissions reduction plan.
