Liberal Party leadership candidate Mark Carney said as prime minister he would cancel the consumer carbon tax and instead make “big polluters pay.”

“Since Canada’s current climate policy has become too divisive, it’s time for a new, more effective climate plan that everyone can get behind,” Carney said during an announcement in Halifax on Jan. 31.
