Dear John,

With the federal carbon tax set to rise from $65 to $80 per tonne on April 1, two essays published by the Fraser Institute today make opposing arguments: to retain the tax (after fixing it); or to scrap the tax.

The first essay – Reforming the Federal Government's Carbon Tax Plan – finds that the government should reform the tax to mitigate its negative economic impacts so the tax simply replaces, and doesn’t add to, other government regulations and mandates meant to reduce GHG emissions.

The second essay – Carbon Tax is Beyond Redemption – finds that the government should eliminate the carbon tax because real-world examples show that governments both in Canada and Europe have failed to implement well designed carbon taxes.

Read both essays here [[link removed]], and be sure to share them with your friends and colleagues.

Sincerely,

Niels Veldhuis

President
