OTTAWA — New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs says his province's alternative to the federal carbon price will be to ship liquid natural gas to Europe as an alternative to coal.
Higgs is appearing virtually in front of a House of Commons committee, where Conservatives invited Higgs and his Alberta and Saskatchewan counterparts to testify about their dislike of the carbon price. Trudeau this week wrote to those premiers inviting them to suggest alternatives to the federal carbon price that would achieve the same results.
He says Canada's emissions are a drop in the bucket of global emissions and that shipping cleaner fuels overseas to replace coal would be a more effective strategy.A Spanish company last year walked away from a proposal to build a natural gas export terminal in Saint John, citing the high costs of shipping gas, which would have to be sent by pipelines from Western Canada.
