Publisher: Resource Works

Summary:
- Carbon pricing in BC may do more harm than good, hurting trade-dependent Canadian industries and increasing carbon leakage to other jurisdictions.
- Increased production costs may drive resource industries (e.g. LNG, forestry, mining, and cement) out of BC and into the United States and other jurisdictions
- This can have devastating impacts on Canadian workers
