B.C. Premier David Eby says his government is working on legislation that will eliminate the provincial consumer carbon tax, after Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that he’s getting rid of the federal consumer carbon tax.

B.C. first introduced the provincial consumer carbon tax in 2008. The federal carbon tax was introduced in 2019 for provinces that did not already have one in place.
