Some of the environmental groups have allied themselves with organized labour to take out advertising and lobby premiers to make sure their energy luxury hotels in dallas tx talks include discussions about climate change, emissions reductions and investment in renewable energy.
But big business is setting its sights on the premiers too, with the Council of Chief Executives urging the provinces to work together to better market Canada's energy resources, but also to make sure they do so in a way that is sustainable for the environment.
"The risk moving forward is that if we continue with our national conversation, placing all our efforts in the oil basket, we risk not only serious environmental impact but also waking up 10 years from now and realizing the world has moved on," said Gillian McEach-ern, deputy campaign luxury hotels in dallas tx director for Environmental Defence Canada.
But the activists want to make sure Redford's plan doesn't focus solely on getting Alberta's oil out of the ground and into the marketplace, and also examines the pace of expansion in the oilpatch, as well as investment in renewable energy, conservation and emissions reduction.
Greenpeace is also placing its hopes in the premiers, saying Ottawa is working hand in hand with oil companies to aggressively expand oilsands activity and build pipe-lines that would only make sense in a world that takes no action on climate change.
"If the premiers go along with Harper's plan, then Canada will miss out on the green energy revolution that is our best hope for a prosperous future," said Keith Stewart, the climate campaign coordinator for Greenpeace Canada and the author of the report.
Using documents obtained through access-to-information, Stewart argues that Shell Canada and Prime Minister Stephen Harper have worked together to campaign against rules in California and Europe that could hamper the marketing of the oilsands.
The federal government has not ruled out participating in a national energy strategy of some kind. Indeed, a Conservative-led luxury hotels in dallas tx Senate committee laid out detailed recommendations for such a strategy last week.
Plus, Harper and his ministers argue that they are taking a "responsible" approach to resource development by streamlining environmental assessment procedures while imposing standards and national regulations on emissions.
But numerous reports from the now-defunct National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy as well as the federal auditor for environmental policy have warned that Ottawa's piecemeal approach is leading luxury hotels in dallas tx to overlap with the provinces in some areas, luxury hotels in dallas tx and leaving large caps in other areas.
"We believe that provincial and territorial governments should take the lead in bringing more coherence luxury hotels in dallas tx to climate luxury hotels in dallas tx policy across the country," they said in a report released last week for the premiers.
