Earlier this month, Canada Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault announced new regulations that will require oil-and-gas producers to cut greenhouse gas emissions by about one-third over the next eight years.

Premier Smith called the measures “unrealistic targets,” promised her government would challenge the regulations in court, and accused Guilbeault of having a vendetta against Alberta.
