Canadians who took part in a federal focus-group research study were skeptical about the government’s climate change policies, saying they would add financial burdens to households but do little to reduce emissions.
“It was felt that many federal actions such as the introduction of a federal price on carbon had placed too much of a financial burden on the individual and that not enough focus was being devoted to reducing the emissions of large businesses and corporations,” said the resulting report, titled “Continuous Qualitative Data Collection Of Canadians’ Views.”
