Wynne meets Alberta Premier Notley at Queen’s Park

Premier Kathleen Wynne is to meet with Alberta Premier Rachel Notley this morning at Queen’s Park.

Wynne and Notley are expected to discuss issues of common interest, such as action on climate change, the Canadian Energy Strategy and the proposed Energy East pipeline.

Manitoba has signed an agreement with Ontario and Quebec to link their cap-and-trade systems to battle climate change, while Alberta and British Columbia have introduced a carbon tax.

There are few details known about Ontario’s cap-and-trade plan, but it is expected to push up prices for many consumer goods, including electricity.
