Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he chose a carbon tax as the most efficient way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as opposed to government regulations and expensive subsidies.

Ontario government is urging the feds to amend these regulations because, according to the province’s Independent Electricity System Operator, they would cost the province an additional $35 billion to implement by 2050 .

The controversy is over the use of natural gas, the cleanest burning fossil fuel, which is necessary to operate Ontario 's electricity system efficiently.
