Guys,
In 2018-2019 the federal and provincial expenditures were $795,217,209,100.

In 2020-2021 the governments took in over $4.2 billion (of which nearly $4.1 billion was returned).

Assuming same level of expenditures across the board in 2020-2021. Then the carbon tax collected about 0.5% of total expenditures of Canadian federal and provincial governments.
A number so small why are we bothering to talk about it? Governments collect way more on income taxes, and sales taxes!
