Earlier today, the UCP announced that they have received the report from the Coal Policy Committee but will not be releasing it publicly at this time. 🧵

This report has been delayed three times now, and the Minister of Energy ensured that Albertans would know its contents on New Year's Eve.
Now, the government has turned tail once again and stated they will review the report and its recommendations before releasing to the public. No date has been committed for this public release.
The UCP must stop delaying and release the Coal Policy Committee’s findings today. Enough obstruction.
Since the UCP rescinded the 1976 Lougheed Coal Policy, quietly on the Friday before a long weekend, Albertans have made it very clear that they do not want coal mining in our most precious landscapes.
Experts have made it very clear that coal mining in the eastern slopes would damage our watersheds and would cost the province more than it would benefit.
