So they just went ahead and did it anyway knowing full well the shit would hit the fan? There is also a clip circulating on twitter of Prentice telling Notley during the debate before the election that her coal phase out would carry billions in penalties.A government official said the province hiked the price on carbon for large emitters in June 2015, and that the minister wasn't briefed by Alberta Energy officials on the “Enron clause” until March 2016.
However, that date is still well before May, when the government officially tabled its carbon levy legislation.
Pretty good article here:
