The Alberta carbon tax will officially be repealed on Thursday.
Jason Kenney’s government introduced Bill 1 after the throne speech last week to repeal the tax.
“Promises made, promises kept,” Kenney said in a policy announcement last week.
“We’re keeping our commitment to eliminate this tax grab to create jobs and put more money back into the pockets of hard-working Albertans.”
Kenney’s Bill 1 would also end the provincial carbon rebate offered to households by amending another piece of legislation, the Alberta Personal Income Tax Act. However, those who received a rebate from April 1 to June 30 would not have to pay it back.
The premier was scheduled to address the media on Thursday afternoon, but the event has been cancelled so he can receive a briefing on the wildfires.
