I can take the first crack at it, and perhaps you want to add something afterward, Corinne.
There are a couple of things on the carbon tax. First, we saw on April 1 another increase in that tax, which is adding costs to many small businesses, especially those in agriculture. We've been saying for a couple of years now that the current carbon tax system is unfair to small business because there is no rebate system in place that is working for small businesses. They pay based on some estimate that was done in the past. They pay about half of the carbon tax, but they only receive about 8% of the rebate that was distributed.
We're calling on the federal government to make the carbon tax fairer for small businesses. We're also worried that many businesses that were impacted by the pandemic, and others, will struggle to pay the additional cost that the carbon tax will represent, and even more so in the next couple of years, when the tax will reach more than $100, and even up to potentially $170 a tonne in seven or eight years.
This is really a fairness issue. Hopefully there will be a program implemented that will allow businesses to get more of their money back and change the unfair system that is currently in place.
