“B.C.’s had carbon pricing for eight years. Their biggest concern is that they’re losing natural resource investment because there are provinces that don’t have carbon pricing,” Lamoureux said.
“They have to compete against them. When you look at nation building, what’s fair for one province has to be fair for all provinces.”
