B.C. scraps carbon tax, fulfilling Eby’s election promise

March 31, 2025
British Columbia’s NDP government moved on Monday to eliminate the provincial carbon tax, matching the federal government’s move to lift the national levy and delivering on an off-the-cuff election promise made last fall by Premier David Eby.The provincial government introduced the Carbon Tax Amendment Act on Monday morning, with the intent of pushing it through the legislature in a single day. The measure is meant to reduce fuel taxes by 17 cents per litre starting April 1, although Mr. Eby conceded there is no guarantee that consumers will see prices at the pumps decline in step with government tax policy.
