Laser Talk: Reminder that Canada’s National Carbon Pricing Policy is Revenue Neutral

Laser Talk: Reminder that Canada’s National Carbon Pricing Policy is Revenue Neutral

Currently, 86% of Canada’s population is already covered by a carbon price and by 2018 that number will rise to 100%. If letters to the editor, columns and online comments  from some who oppose carbon pricing are any indication, it is clear that some them do not understand that Canada’s national carbon pricing policy will be revenue neutral for the national government. All revenues generated will remain in that province or territory. Given that, those who want 100% revenue neutrality should be specifically asking the territorial and provincial levels of government to return all proceeds to citizens. Please note, CCL volunteers in Canada lobby territorial, provincial and federal levels of government for 100% revenue neutral carbon taxes and have done so since September 2010.
