The Consumer ’Carbon Tax’ isn’t working and has become too divisive. That’s why Mark Carney will cancel it and replace it with incentives for greener choices.
Right now, consumers are paying the price for climate change while big polluters are profiting from their actions. There’s a better way, so we’re going to change it.
A Mark Carney-led government will immediately remove the consumer “carbon tax” and instead introduce a new approach that leaves Canadians better off, while reducing our emissions.
Mark Carney’s plan will provide incentives for consumers. Put more of the burden on big polluters. And help us build the strongest economy in the G7.
Financial incentives, not penalties, to help consumers afford things like more energy efficient appliances, electric cars, and better home insulation.
Canada’s biggest emitters will contribute their fair share
Investments towards energy efficient buildings, electrified transportation, and more.
Ensuring fairness for Canadian industries on the global stage, and better integrate with allies in the fight against climate change.
Pierre Poilievre wants us to feel like we have to choose between fighting climate change and growing our economy. But we can fight climate change together and build the strongest economy in the G7.
