A House of Commons committee hearing on carbon pricing was held in Ottawa on Thursday, which was sparked by the premiers of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and Alberta publishing urgent letters requesting to appear before the Liberal-led House Finance Committee to air their concerns about the looming hike. In one exchange, Liberal MP Irek Kusmiercyzk challenged Alberta Premier Danielle Smith on whether her opposition to the carbon pricing increase included the provincial additional of four cents. Smith responded by saying that Alberta is attempting to compensate for an inflation crisis that is taking place at the national level.
