CALGARY, AB--(Marketwired - May 03, 2017) - On Thursday, May 4, the Fraser Institute will release a new study examining carbon taxes and cap-and-trade systems in Canada.

Poor Implementation Undermines Carbon Tax Efficiency in Canada spotlights the conditions that must be met for carbon-pricing schemes (such as carbon taxes and cap-and-trade systems) to work as envisioned by economists, and why they fail when implemented in Canada.
