No joke: The national price on pollution rises by $15 per tonne on April 1
OTTAWA — The national price on pollution will rise by $15 per tonne today. Here's some questions answered about what this could mean for you.Canada has two different carbon pricing programs — one for big industry where companies pay the price on a share of their actual emissions, and a consumer carbon levy which is applied to fossil fuel purchases.
A litre of diesel produces more carbon dioxide than a litre of gasoline, for example, so the carbon price is higher on a litre of diesel than it is on gasoline.The impact will be similar in all provinces but Quebec. Propane: The price for propane will now include 12.38 cents a litre in carbon price, up from 10.08 cents. A standard 20-pound barbecue propane tank will cost about $2.20 in carbon price to fill, compared with $1.78 over the last year.
B.C.'s rebate, for example, is income based, and about one-third of all households in the province don't qualify for it.
