OTTAWA – The Parliamentary Budget Officer’s corrected analysis of the carbon tax after admitting to an error in two previous reports has confirmed most Canadians are getting back more in rebates than they pay in carbon taxes but that the policy will make most Canadians worse off financially.

Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux’s updated report came to the same broad conclusion as the previous two. Those previous reports counted both the fuel tax that average consumers pay and the tax on heavy emitters, which they don’t.
