Carney's move to end the consumer carbon price has done little to put the long-standing political battle to rest.

Carney allowed media in to witness the end of his inaugural cabinet meeting, to showcase to the cameras as he opened a document inside a red folder and signed it with a flourish.

A day after the signing, an order-in-council was published online that sets the “applicable fuel charge rates for all types of fuel and combustible waste to zero after March 31, 2025 .

Carney says eliminating the carbon price was the “very clear will’ of the Canadian people’s.

Carney ran on the policy in his bid for Liberal leadership.

Meredith : “I don’t think any world in which at least the retail-facing component of the carbon pricing system is ever going to come back in any manner,” he said.
