This week CAC President Adam Auer spoke on industrial carbon pricing at the House of Commons Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development.

“Canada’s cement industry has been clear and transparent since we began this journey over a decade ago, we support well designed industrial carbon pricing. Despite the current economic headwinds facing our industry and the country, our position has not changed.”

Auer also outlined issues and changes needed to the current industrial carbon pricing system.

“Our support for industrial carbon pricing does not mean that the current system is working. It is not. Our members operate under five different provincial pricing regimes, each with their own rules, benchmarks and compliance markets.”
