—or as part of this current study.
As a little bit of background on this subject, I actually can't think of an item that's going to cause more questions. If you were a manufacturer and you were thinking about what's coming down the line in the future, the number one question that you would have would be about the effects of a carbon tax by tonnage. What are the effects going to be on my business? What's my carbon footprint? How am I going to manage those new costs to my business?
I obviously can't speak for individual manufacturers across the country, but what I can say is that we can peg what the global cost of this tax will be in 2022 across the country. We can also peg what the difference is between the regimes that exist right now in differing regions of the country.
