The firm modelled how Canada can achieve both the federal government’s current target (20% below the 2006 level by 2020) as well as a more ambitious target (25% below the 1990 level by 2020). The study indicates that Canada can implement much stronger climate policies than the US and still prosper economically.

They also found that, in addition to economic benefits, a carbon tax reduces carbon dioxide emissions to 14% below 2006 levels by 2020, and 20% below by 2050. The carbon tax would shift the market toward renewables and other low carbon options, and make the purchase of more fuel-efficient vehicles more economically desirable.
