If provinces fail to establish a pricing on carbon, Trudeau said that the federal government would impose a carbon price in that jurisdiction. Trudeau said a minimum price of $10 a tonne would be implemented in 2018, rising to $50 a tonne by 2022. OTTAWA—The federal government is pushing ahead with a national plan to price carbon pollution, vowing to implement a minimum price within two years. He said the carbon pricing plan would be revenue neutral for the federal government, saying the revenues would stay in the province where they are generated. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said that while her government backs a common carbon price, she tied her support of Trudeau’s plan to getting action on pipelines to move Alberta crude oil to market.
