Liberal leadership candidates Chrystia Freeland , Karina Gould and Mark Carney have all cooled on consumer carbon pricing in recent weeks .

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has pitched the upcoming election as almost a referendum on carbon pricing.

The three frontrunners in the Liberal leadership race have all backed away from the keystone climate policy.

Carney reiterated his argument that if the carbon price is going to go, it has to be replaced “with something that is at least, if not more, effective” Carney was referring to the carbon rebates.

The Parliamentary Budget Officer has said the rebates exceed the direct cost of the carbon charge for most Canadians .
