Contrary to what you may have heard recently, the federal government does have plans. I went to the presentation Calgary where four optional federal plans were presented.

Those plans were not very well liked and generated a lot of feedback.

The government went back to the drawing board, incorporated comments and come up with a new draft plan complete with computer model economic analysis.

With a mixture of efficiency policies and measures, forest and agricultural sinks and buying of international permits Canada hopes to meet 170 Mtonnes of the 240 Mtonnes gap. The remaining 70 Mtonnes is expected from the clean energy export credit - or some other alternate.

The plan was issued again this morning. A brief review suggests it has changed a bit but nothing big jumps out.
