I agree with MP Marc Serré that Pierre Poilievre is fear-mongering . Until Poilievre shows us his climate plan, I, too, believe that he would leave the average person worse off while helping his rich friends pollute even more and make climate change worse for all of us.
Carbon pricing has proven instrumental in curbing emissions while maintaining economic viability. Since the inception of federal carbon pricing in 2019, Canada has witnessed a notable decrease of almost eight per cent in GHG emissions, with projections indicating that carbon pricing will contribute substantially to emissions reductions by 2030.
Canada’s carbon pricing framework is designed to promote emission reduction without compromising business competitiveness. Through an output-based pricing system, industries are incentivized to adopt low-carbon practices while remaining economically viable in the global marketplace.
