It applies to a broad set of emission sources, and its stringency increases over time. Provinces and territories have the flexibility to implement their own system: an explicit tariff-based program or a cap-and-trade system. Explicit tariff-based programs must include a minimum tariff of CAN$10/tonne COeq in 2018, and this tariff must increase each year to reach CAN$50/tonne COeq in 2022. Provincial and territorial cap-and-trade systems must include a lowering of annual caps until 2022, at a minimum, and this lowering must correspond at least to the emission reductions expected as a result of the application of the relevant carbon price for the year in question. A federal backstop will apply in provinces and territories that do not have carbon pollution pricing consistent with the federal framework The proposed backstop includes a carbon charge applied to fossil fuels and a output-based pricing scheme with emissions trading for industrial facilities that produce more than 50 kt eq. CO, per year. The Government of Canada is also committed to applying carbon pricing to GHG emissions from domestic flights between provinces and territories in Canada.
