Suncor, Enbridge Seek Clarity After Ford Upends Carbon Trading

Suncor Energy Inc. and Enbridge Inc. are among Canadian fossil fuel companies seeking answers after Ontario premier-designate Doug Ford announced plans to unwind a cap-and-trade program that has issued C$2.8 billion ($2.1 billion) worth of pollution credits to dozens of companies. Ford and his Progressive Conservative party said last week they would fulfill a campaign pledge and withdraw from the program, which sold credits to energy firms and fuel distributors that must hold enough of the allowances by the end of 2020 to match their greenhouse-gas emissions.
