Industrial Carbon Emissions platforms
Here's what the 2021 Canadian election parties are promising.Conservative
- Tie Canada's industrial carbon price to the EU's & eventually the US's.
- Potentially set industrial carbon prices on a path to $170/tonne by 2030.
- Propose minimum North American standards for key industrial sectors.
- Study imposing a carbon border tariff on goods imported from countries without compatible emissions reduction mechanisms.
Rather than choosing an arbitrary carbon price in advance, we’ll tie Canada’s industrial carbon price to that of our biggest trading partners - the European Union and the United States, starting with those regions that have carbon markets and expanding as the U.S. creates a national market. This will ensure that we travel the path to our Paris targets together while reducing the risk that serious climate action will just shift jobs out of Canada to competitor countries.
We will assess progress after two years and be prepared to set industrial carbon prices on a path to $170/tonne by 2030, but only if the combination of adopting a price based on that of our major trading partners and working with the U.S. on North American standards has not assured us that we are on a path to our Paris commitment.

We will study the imposition of a carbon border tariff which would reflect the amount of carbon emissions attributed to goods imported into Canada. Producers in countries with emissions reductions mechanisms that are compatible with our own will be exempt. We will urge our American trade partners to adopt this approach as well.

We don't have any Bloc policies on Industrial Carbon Emissions.
NDP
- Place a carbon border adjustment tariff on imported products from areas without a carbon price.
- Require large businesses receiving COVID recovery funding to agree to plan for net-zero.
- Put in place joint workplace environment committees to help reduce emissions in every workplace.
As we turn the corner on COVID-19 and build an economic recovery for people, we have a precious opportunity to build back better. New Democrats would ensure that recovery funding is used to support our net-zero objectives. To that end we would ensure that large businesses receiving recovery funding agree to plan for net-zero – and we would ensure those funds go to supporting Canadian jobs, not executives or shareholders.

We will work to put in place joint workplace environment committees – modelled on the successful joint workplace health and safety committees which have had a major impact on making workplaces safer – to help reduce emissions at the source in every workplace.

Green
- Enact a Carbon Border Adjustment.
- Continuously evaluate the impact of the Carbon Border Adjustment on developing countries through a lens of global environmental justice.
● Enact a Carbon Border Adjustment, which will ensure Canadian companies paying carbon taxes are not placed at a competitive disadvantage with foreign companies located in countries with no such taxes.
● Continuously evaluate the impact of the Carbon Border Adjustment on developing countries through a lens of global environmental justice.
