US EditionIndustrial carbon price a focus Carney's climate strategy consultations: sources
The federal strategy focuses on expanding carbon pricing on major emitters, which accounted for 80% of emission reductions from carbon pricing, to enhance climate competitiveness.
- In a speech on Oct. 22, Prime Minister Mark Carney said industrial carbon pricing will be included in the federal budget on Nov. 4, with consultations focusing on making it a cornerstone of Canada’s climate strategy.
- During the Liberal leadership race, Carney pledged to eliminate the consumer carbon price while strengthening levies on big industrial emitters; his first official act as prime minister in March ended the consumer levy, though he has yet to act on the industrial price.
- Two senior officials said in recent weeks ministers emphasized industrial carbon pricing and Prime Minister Mark Carney has given the strategy personal attention.
- Both Alberta and Saskatchewan have challenged the federal system, with Alberta proposing changes last month and Saskatchewan pausing its program on April 1; Ottawa can impose a federal backstop but hasn’t indicated plans to do so.
- Several reports found Canada is off track to meet its 2030 Paris climate pact goal, and one source said the government worries about public perception of carbon pricing while Carney prioritizes results and the economy, aiming to double non-U.S. exports.
