Environment

The environment is a top priority for the leaders of some of the most influential countries in the world, but Alberta’s PC government is failing to keep pace.

They can’t see a province where a healthy energy sector can benefit Albertans and the environment at the same time. But one doesn't have to come at the expense of the other.

Alberta's NDP Opposition recognizes that our environment is closely tied to our energy sector, and we have a plan that will protect our air and water while allowing the energy industry to remain competitive on the global stage.

The fact is Alberta creates more greenhouse gases than any other region in Canada.

Our international environmental reputation is not good, and the PC government is known for making profitable deals for corporations that cost our environment dearly.

Alberta must lead by example by developing an environmental plan that assures long-term sustainability.

Alberta’s NDP Opposition believes in hard-caps on carbon emissions, better environmental oversight in the oilsands, and a water-management strategy that ensures all Albertans have access to clean drinking water.

Alberta's NDP Opposition is against legislation that limits public oversight, and laws that allow government to determine land-use without a proper consultation, hearing and appeal process.
