Good question. Greenhouse gas emissions/environment are in the federal government's jurisdiction, so she may not have much choice - if the new regulations are actually implemented.

If the Conservative Party is voted into office next year...well, they don't give a poop about climate change, so those regulations would probably go by the wayside. They may pay lip service to environmental concerns, but actually do nothing about them. They are already saying they will cancel the carbon tax - which is an end-user charge* on fossil fuels. The federal carbon tax also features a rebate - in effect, combination carrot and stick. So, the more fossil fuel you use, the more tax you will pay and the less you benefit from the rebate. The less you use, the more benefit you will derive from the rebate. The Conservative party keeps hammering on the carbon tax, but
never mention the rebate.
*Ironically the carbon tax is pretty much universally considered to be
the conservative measure for reducing emissions, i.e. let the market decide how to reduce emissions in the most economical fashion they can find, rather than the methods/technology being dictated. But, in politics these days, everything is being turned upside down.
