Significance Trudeau has pledged to formulate a new national climate policy to help Canada meet its international commitments to greenhouse gas emission reductions in line with its support of the Paris climate accord. Subnational support is key to this goal, given the significant policy-making roles of the provinces. Impacts Premier Brad Wall's stand against carbon pricing is likely to translate into re-election in the April Saskatchewan elections. The new federal Low Carbon Economy Fund offers commercial opportunities for infrastructure and energy firms. Carbon pricing -- when combined with low oil prices -- would threaten the economic viability of the oil sands. Pharmacare and federal economic stimulus funding may form other areas of acute federal-provincial disagreement.
