Fraser Institute economists believe the Trudeau government\u0027s carbon tax is poorly designed and undermined by its clean economy policies.
For example, when faced with the carbon tax, a company may choose to innovate and change the way it delivers goods and services, transition to different types of production or reduce emissions. The key, though, is that individuals — not government bureaucrats — make these decisions.
According to a 2021 report by the Biden administration, the social cost of carbon in 2030 will be between US$19 and US$89 per tonne of CO2. This suggests that Canada’s ultimate tax of $170 per tonne by 2030 is far too high, meaning the tax will discourage emissions, but at an economic cost that exceeds the economic benefit.Article content
