Yes, absolutely.
Any pollution should come at a cost. Pollution has a huge impact on society, so putting a price on pollution only sends the right message about the changes that need to be made in our society. Specifically, the carbon tax has been shown to be the most effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. From an eco-taxation point of view, it's therefore crucial that Canada have a system like this. Quebec, on the other hand, has its carbon market.
The fact is, the United States still doesn't have a tax like this and has made investments of a more industrial nature. That's their choice, of course, but it's not powerful like something as effective as a carbon tax. It's therefore essential to keep the carbon tax, but in 2023 that's not really up for debate.
