What: Dr. Moe Qureshi, the Conservation Council’s director of climate research and policy, will be available to answer questions about New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt reportedly considering replacing the consumer carbon tax with a cap-and-trade system in New Brunswick. Dr. Qureshi can also provide insights on the recently released federal emissions cap draft regulations
When: Wednesday, Nov. 6, from 3-5 p.m. AST.
Who: Dr. Moe Qureshi, director of climate research and policy.
Why: The federal government announced its emissions cap draft regulations on Monday, shortly before it was reported that New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt is considering a regional cap-and-trade system that would align with federal standards and remove the carbon tax from gasoline purchases in New Brunswick. Dr. Qureshi can comment on what a well-structured cap-and-trade system could look like for New Brunswick and how it could impact residents as well as the emissions cap draft regulations.
