The Government of Canada has taken action to ensure that there is a price on carbon pollution across Canada. To ensure that carbon pollution pricing remains affordable for Canadians, direct proceeds from the federal pollution pricing system are returned to the jurisdictions where they were collected and the majority of proceeds are returned directly to Canadians through Climate Action Incentive (CAI) payments. These payments mean some 8 out of 10 families receive more money back than they pay in direct costs under this system.
