Canadian provinces and territories have the flexibility to either implement an explicit price-based system-with a minimum price of CAN USD 10 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2018, increasing to CAN USD 50 per tonne by 2022-or an equivalently scaled emissions trading system. This paper discusses the rationale for, and design of, the price floor requirement; its (provincial-level) environmental, fiscal, and economic welfare impacts; monitoring issues; and (national-level) incidence. The general conclusion is that the welfare costs and implementation issues are manageable, and pricing provides significant new revenues. A challenge is that the floor price by itself appears well short of what will be needed by 2030 for Canada's Paris Agreement pledge. Mode of access: Internet Mylonas, Victor.
