The carbon price is expected to climb another C$ 10 per tonne of greenhouse gas emissions in most provinces on April 1. Some reports suggest that the government is under pressure to delay or cancel the increase as oil prices rise due to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
However, it seems that the government won't back off on its climate action plan, and the increase would bring the national price on pollution to C$ 50 per tonne, which includes an additional 2.2 cents to the cost of one litre of gasoline.
If you are an investor looking for companies working to achieve sustainability, then the Toronto Stock Exchange has a variety of green energy stocks to offer.
