Provincial Government Announces Bill 1 – An Act to Repeal the Carbon Tax

The provincial government tabled Bill 1 - An Act to Repeal the Carbon Tax on May 22nd. If passed, Bill 1 would repeal the Climate Leadership Act effective on May 30, 2019 and end the rebates associated with the Climate Leadership Act. The Carbon Competitiveness Incentive Regulation (CCIR) would still continue to apply to large emitters. In 2017, our policy: Striking a Balance Between a Healthy Economy and Low Carbon Emissions was adopted by the Alberta Chambers of Commerce. As a chamber we are supportive of developing our resources in an ethical and environmentally responsible manner while also ensuring that our economic prosperity is protected.
