The federal government also proposed a cap-and-trade system, although the plan was criticized by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and the energy sector.This week, a group of top energy executives called on the leaders of the four main federal political parties to declare a Canadian energy crisis and scrap the emission cap.Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has vowed to end the cap and has criticized Carney on social media over his position on it.
