Alberta and Canada finalize agreement to raise industrial carbon price to C$130 per metric ton by 2040, with price floors starting 2027.
Deal, to be announced by PM Mark Carney and Premier Danielle Smith on 15 May 2026, clears a key hurdle for a Pacific‑coast pipeline.
Environmental groups pushed for C$130 by 2030; the agreement sets that price later, while oil producers still demand tax removal.
This is the third issue settled since a November MOU, following March agreements on methane cuts and impact‑assessment jurisdiction.
