The federal government has mandated that all provinces put carbon pricing in place beginning this year.
Those provinces that don’t implement a carbon pricing plan will be subject to the federal carbon pricing plan which would impose a carbon levy of $10 per tonne in 2018, rising by $10 per tonne each year to $50 per tonne in 2022.
The PEIFA wants to lobby the provincial government for a basic exemption from any carbon taxing scheme on all fuels (marked diesel, clear diesel, gas and propane) that farmers use on their farms.
