OTTAWA — The Parliamentary Budget Officer’s corrected analysis of the carbon tax has confirmed most Canadians are getting back more in rebates than they pay in carbon taxes but that the policy will make most Canadians worse off financially.
Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux corrected a mistake he made in two previous reports, but it came to the same broad conclusion. Those previous reports counted both the fuel tax that average consumers pay and the tax on heavy emitters, which they don’t.
