Alberta government launches $7-million advertising campaign against Ottawa 's proposed emissions cap on oil and gas sector.

Alberta says the incoming regulations will cost jobs and damage the economy.

The proposed emissions limit would make the first major oil and natural gas producer to adopt such a policy.

Alberta Environment Minister Rebecca Schulz : "Hopefully it will cause them to take a second look at what they're planning to put forward".

It seeks to reduce industry emissions by 35 to 38 per cent — from 2019 levels — by the end of the decade .

Flexibility measures, such as allowing companies to purchase offset credits, could drop that figure to 20 to 23 per cent.

In April , the Pembina Institute said its analysis of the Conference Board’s report on the effect of the cap in 2040 indicates that modelling of oil and gas production only extends to 2030 .
