British Columbia Premier David Eby expressed his anxiety over the potential for Alberta to receive a special set of policies that put his province at a competitive disadvantage at a press conference Wednesday.

“We will not be in a competitive position if Alberta has a special federal carbon price the rest of us don’t have access to in the rest of Canada,” Eby said.

The comments come amid negotiations between Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith over the memorandum of understanding (MOU), promising to build a pipeline to the northwest coast of B.C. Eby said there were ongoing talks of potentially lowering the carbon price of $170 per tonne to $130 per tonne exclusively for Alberta. However, he added that Ottawa hasn’t made a formal announcement to go through with a carbon price adjustment at this time.

“We do need to make sure that, there’s a level playing field for everybody in Canada and it’s not just one province that gets special treatment that results in a competitive advantage for them and a disadvantage for the rest of Canada,” Eby added.
