The Projected Effects of a National Price on Carbon

At the beginning of October, Prime Minister Trudeau announced the implementation of a national carbon price. The federal plan will begin to price carbon at C$10 a ton in 2018 and grow to C$50 by 2022. Under the framework, all provinces and territories will be required to have some form of carbon pricing by 2018.
