Hope there is more municipalities thinking the same
Lloydminster City Council is calling upon Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government to immediately pause further increases to the federal carbon tax.
With the next carbon tax increase scheduled to take effect on April 1, Mayor Gerald Aalbers says municipalities need more time to assess how local governments will continue to provide services in the wake of another increase
The April 1 increase, if implemented, would see the price on carbon rise from $65 per tonne to $80. It is scheduled to go up another $15 each year until 2030 when it reaches $170 a tonne.
