Mark Carney has emphasized that the “amount of carbon” in any goods, services or exports will soon be a “determining” factor in whether they have access to the free market.

Despite lowering the consumer portion of the carbon tax, Liberal Leader Mark Carney has emphasized that the “amount of carbon” in any goods, services or exports will soon be a “determining” factor in whether they have access to the free market.

Carney made these comments during an online discussion last June, hosted by the Century Initiative and The Globe and Mail. The discussion focused on the future of net-zero policies, as some governments have signaled shifting priorities.
