Canadian and provincial energy and mines ministers met this past week in Calgary, Alberta to discuss various matters. One topic for discussion was the Canadian government's proposed Clean Electricity Regulations.

On the CER, Alberta officials said the issue was discussed and there may be some flexibility coming from Ottawa in response to various concerns from the provinces.

Yet, Saskatchewan Energy Minister Jim Reiter said the federal 2035 timeline isn’t realistic.

“We made it very clear. We won’t be hitting that target,” Reiter said in an interview.

“There were some productive discussions in a lot of different areas, but the relationship between the province and the feds, I would say . . . we didn’t rectify any of the major contentious” issues.

No indications were given on when the final CERs will be published, just "later this year".
