June 6 (Reuters) - The CEO of Suncor Energy ( SU ),

Canada's second-largest oil company, said on Thursday he

supports a price on carbon across the economy because it will

drive innovation but is opposed to a cap on oil and gas

emissions.

Suncor CEO Rich Kruger was speaking alongside other

executives from Canada's major oil and gas companies at a

committee meeting before lawmakers in Ottawa.
