“His own personal background and track record on these issues suggest somebody who is more of an absolutist than a pragmatist when it comes to finding solutions,” he said.Article content Guilbeault said the government has been clear about its plan, with a carbon tax that will gradually rise to $170 per tonne by 2030.
