OTTAWA — Canadians feel businesses will feel little impact from an industrial carbon tax, new polling suggests.
In a new poll conducted by Leger on behalf of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF), nearly half of those polled say that businesses will pay little of the cost of an industrial carbon tax and instead largely pass that pain on to consumers.
That’s in addition to the quarter of respondents who say some of the cost of will end up coming out of the pockets of consumers, and just 12% who say businesses will bear most of the cost of a carbon levy.
