Premier David Eby said he wants Prime Minister Mark Carney to explain why he invited only one province to weigh in on new federal industrial carbon price benchmarks, which were announced as part of Ottawa’s pact to build a new pipeline from the oilsands to the B.C. coast. (The Logic)

Talking point: Carney told the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade Wednesday that he will work with provinces and territories to bring their carbon price benchmarks in line with the new federal standard, and that it would be part of his discussion with Eby that afternoon. The premier said the meeting would focus on making sure B.C. projects get an equal share of federal investment and enthusiasm. He also told Carney at the start of their meeting that economic development must go hand in hand with environmental protections, including maintaining the tanker ban on the north coast of B.C.
