Carbon-pricing too hard on Indigenous groups, small biz, too weak on industry: audit

Tuesday on carbon pricing, transitioning workers away from fossil fuel industries, hydrogen energy, climate-related infrastructure policies and the government's efforts to cut its own emissions.

"As is recognized by the Supreme Court of Canada and many international organizations, effective carbon pollution pricing drives changes in consumer and producer behaviour that in turn reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions," he says in a written statement. "Carbon pricing is therefore essential if Canada is to finally succeed in significantly reducing its greenhouse gas emissions.

Most provinces have their own pricing systems for big emitters that Ottawa has approved. But the audit says there aren't enough controls to ensure they are on par with what the federal benchmark would do, and the cost to industries varies widely between provinces. A fuel purchase levy is how consumers and smaller businesses pay the carbon price. Consumers get rebates from the federal government to offset those higher costs, while still having an incentive that they would save money by cutting their fuel use.

So like all government policies it hurts the minorities and working folk. Got it.

Not explained how this is true, when most Indigenous are exempt from fuel taxes…?

Give me a break they already get a break on gas with their native card

The carbon tax hurts all Canadians except the very rich its just another way for the government to frig with working class people.

I have lived in the same place for 50 years, The weather is no different now than it ever was. A scam bought by gullible people. China laughing all the way to the bank. Along with thier puppets.

Everyone else suffers too!!!!

Why is always about Indigenous groups/people? I guess another couple of billion dollars will fix it for them.

So essentially it's useless. You can't tax people to death to try and change the weather. It's long past due for the Carbon Tax to be scrapped. It's been a JustinTrudeau money laundering scheme all along. TrudeauDictatorshipMustGo TrudeauCrimeMinister TrudeauTheTyrant

The industry/corporations will never pay the price on these taxes. They will hardly hinder their path seeing ad they just shimmy the cost down the ladder to the middle class like everything else.

And the middle working class. But the elites don’t give a hoot.

How about everybody…

WOW, that’s all I can say is WOW.

Wheres the data showing carbon is bad Wheres the open science-based debate

there's no tax on reserve or with treaty card is there?

Make it about race All working class Canadians are being taxed into poverty, but CTV wants to push a 'racist' narrative. CTVisPropaganda

Look my naked photo ❤️😘
