Liberal Party implemented Canada's first carbon levy in 2008, when it introduced a tax on all fuel use and carbon emissions. Businesses generating more than 25,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year will be considered a "capped emitter." After Trudeau outlined the federal position, Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister said that cap-and-trade was out, but that he's not definitive on a possible carbon tax. Newfoundland just recently implemented a dramatic increase to its gas tax, doubling the levy to 33 cents per litre. The implementation of a national carbon price will only add to the cost of gas, and other fuel sources in the province.
