EDMONTON — Alberta’s United Conservative government is eliminating stand-alone offices for climate change policy and environmental monitoring.
Some say the move will damage the province’s ability to make science-based decisions and damage its international reputation.
The intention is outlined in a Sept. 10 email from Alberta Environment and Parks deputy minister Bev Yee.
It says the current climate change office as well as the division that monitors and reports on the environment will be integrated in a new structure.
