OTTAWA — The federal government will take some of the sting out of its upcoming carbon tax Tuesday with a promise to give rebates directly to Canadians. That sell includes offsetting the hit to a family’s pocketbook with carbon price rebates. They will also announce Tuesday which provinces will see the federal carbon price applied. Trudeau has promised any revenues raised by a carbon tax will be returned entirely to the people of the province where they are collected. Carbon pricing is expected to be a key campaign issue, with the federal Conservatives pushing heavily against a carbon tax and insisting they would eliminate it entirely if they form government.
