Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney will abandon his party’s consumer carbon tax and replace the policy with an incentive program that rewards Canadians for making green choices.
The former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor made the announcement at an event in Halifax Friday morning.
“The consumer carbon tax isn’t working; it’s become too divisive. That’s why I’ll cancel it and replace it with incentives to reward people for greener choices”, Carney said in a statement released to the media.
