On Tuesday, May 24, Environment Minister Shannon Phillips introduced Bill 20 for the first reading into the Alberta legislature. This Bill deals with the details of how the government of Alberta will implement an Alberta Carbon Levy. It is expected that this will have significant impact on businesses and individuals alike.
