| Description | Preston Manning is calling out "hypocritical" federal NDP Leader Tom Mulcair for "preaching" to Alberta while turning a blind eye to energy problems in Quebec.
In an interview that aired Saturday on CBC Radio's The House, the former Reform Party leader told host Evan Solomon he agrees with the principle of internalizing environmental costs, but "if you are going to apply that to one energy source, you ought to apply it to all or you'll misallocate capital and you'll hurt the environment."
"And that's the part Mr. Mulcair studiously avoids," Manning said.
Manning said he recognizes that when you produce energy there are going to be environmental effects. "You identify those environmental effects — and the cost of avoiding them or mitigating them — and then you try some way of integrating that into the cost of the product," he said. |
