Sorry what? Again, explain that logic.
BC implemented a carbon tax in 2008. Emissions in the province are priced at $35 per tonne, and will increase each year by $5 until the cost reaches $50 per tonne in 2021.
The federal policy is $20 a ton that caps at $50 in 2020. BC wouldn't care less about it.
Quebec had a cap-and-trade system since 2013.
Neither province had to change anything to be compliant with the federal policy, they already exceeded it. So neither province would care at all if there was one policy across the board. Less taxes for them, more tax money. Yeah, I'm sure that they would hate that..
