New Prime Minister and Environmental Plan
Liberal Party MPs selected its new leader, Mark Carney, who won a
strong mandate from the party base — ultimately capturing 86 per
cent of the vote. Carney, former governor of the Bank of Canada, has
the support of Steven Guilbeault, current federal environment minister and Catherine McKenna, former federal environment minister.
What can we expect from Carney when it comes to the environment and climate policy in Canada?
“The Consumer Carbon Tax isn’t working—it’s become too divisive. That’s
why I’ll cancel it and replace it with incentives to reward people for greener
choices,” said Carney. He plans to immediately remove the consumer carbon
tax and instead, create a system of incentives to reward Canadians for making
greener choices, such as purchasing an energy e昀케cient appliance, electric vehicle, or improved home insulation. Carney is introducing a three point-plan,
based on the Made-in-Canada Industrial Competitiveness Strategy.
