The Alberta Canada carbon pricing agreement now applies to New Brunswick as well. Premier Holt dropped a promise for a robust emissions tax after Prime Minister Carney extended the deal's terms to other provinces. The deal sets carbon pricing rising to $130 per tonne by 2040. The change means New Brunswick will follow Alberta's framework instead of implementing its own carbon tax. Critics argue the deal may not be compatible with net zero targets. The agreement affects fuel prices and industrial emissions in both provinces.
