1. What BC (and Canada) can learn from the Danish Experience

2.  What are the main differences in carbon pricing (tax
and cap and trade) frameworks in Denmark and BC?
 What actions may help BC enhance its GHG emission
reductions? By extension the rest of Canada?
 What are the major obstacles that make it difficult for
BC to implement those actions?

8. Some Exceptions….
Island Tug & Barge ltd v British Columbia, 2011
BCSC 396, [2011] BCWLD 2981.

9. Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Act, SBC 2007, c 42.

17.  Increase the carbon tax
 Change formulation: invest part of the revenues in
technology, the other in tax cuts
 Institute the not in effect cap and trade statute
 Regulate emissions more strictly
 Persuade the federal government to do something!

19.  The EU model is a fantastic example of what Canada
could do given the federalist structure
 BC can’t do it alone [Quebec helping], but needs more
 Division of powers also issue, but not insurmountable
