Details about this proposal are available in the Budget 2021 Annex 6 entitled Tax Measures: Supplementary Information.

Consultation on Border Carbon Adjustments Deadline : Monday, January 31, 2022 The government is committed to ensuring that Canada’s transition to a low-carbon economy is achieved in a way that is fair and predictable for Canadian firms and consumers, and that supports Canada’s global competitiveness. One mechanism to help achieve this would be through the establishment of border carbon adjustments (BCAs). BCAs are measures that can level the playing field when there are differences in carbon costs between trading partners by ensuring that imported goods face the same carbon costs as domestically produced goods. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/programs/consultations/2021/border-carbon-adjustments.html
