Climate Change Agreements. In December 2015, the Government of Canada, along with approximately 190 other countries, committed to reducing global GHG emissions (the Paris Agreement). The key objective of this agreement was to limit global warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius, and to try to limit it to 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels (i.e., levels prior to the industrial revolution).7 Environmental scientists predict that if the increase in average global temperature is kept below 2 degrees Celsius from preindustrial levels, the most serious effects of climate change can be avoided.8 In March 2016, Canadian First Ministers (Prime Minister and provincial and territorial Premiers) committed to meet Canada’s commitment for the Paris Agreement. They agreed to implement GHG reduction policies to reduce Canada’s emissions by 30% from 2005 levels by 2030 (i.e., the Vancouver Declaration).9 In addition, the Canadian First Ministers developed a Pan-Canadian framework. This Framework, in part, outlined actions Canada could take to grow the economy while reducing harmful GHG emissions. During its development, the Government of Canada required all provinces and territories to implement carbon-pricing mechanisms (e.g., carbon tax, cap and trade systems) by 2018.10 While the Government of Saskatchewan agreed to the Vancouver Declaration, it did not agree to the Pan-Canadian framework. It does not support mandating the use of carbon pricing mechanisms in all provinces and territories.
