Yes, and the government must increase pressure on other nations to do the same which will make it easier for our companies to compete with those in other countries.

If carbon emissions are the result of the economy than the economy must pay the cost of those emissions. There needs to be a cost associated with carbon emissions that can be passed directly to the end consumer. This is a situation that is hampered by the common access to the environment, negating political borders. Therefore it makes a case for a worldwide governing body to implement the charge of such costs. Incentives alone will not discourage the negative results of carbon emissions until alternatives are made less costly than the ones that produce carbon emissions, worldwide. Anything else will only export carbon emissions to third world countries as is the case.

New industry in NA will bring Jobs, power usages, business taxes, support associated supplier business, etc. Then before those jobs…  Read more are appointed to immigration be sure every established Canadian is working. Global warming is not a natural event but my research would support the primary cause is population. The world can not sustain increase in population. Ever wonder why most of the poorest countries have the greatest number of people???
