The federal environment ministry predicts Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s proposed second carbon tax, known as the Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR), will increase energy poverty in Canada.
It concludes the CFR will disproportionately impact low and middle-income households, seniors, single mothers, rural Canadians, oil, gas and freight transport workers, single family homeowners, tenants and possibly other groups for which there is insufficient data, such as the LGBTQ2+ community.
