Government moves to purge consumer carbon pricing from law
- In March 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney officially eliminated the consumer carbon pricing by setting it to zero through regulatory measures in Ottawa.
- Carney canceled the consumer carbon price as his first official act following election, fulfilling a campaign promise amid parliamentary recess.
- The government has begun the process of repealing the law that enables consumer carbon pricing, while committing to enhance the industrial carbon pricing policy aimed at achieving greater emissions reductions.
- A 2024 Canadian Climate Institute report found industrial carbon pricing reduces more emissions, and Carney stated the government will compensate emissions cuts lost by ending the consumer price.
- Repealing the law will end the consumer carbon pricing permanently, while oil and gas firms seek repeal of the industrial price, and the government intends clear legislative steps soon.
