British Columbia Premier David Eby says his government will end the provincial carbon tax on consumers and shift the onus to “big polluters” if the federal government removes a legal requirement to keep the tax in place.Eby says B.C. residents are struggling with affordability, but a re-elected NDP government would make “big polluters” pay a price for carbon to take action on climate change.He says the federal government’s approach to the carbon tax has “badly damaged” what was a political consensus on the issue in the province.
