Small businesses to get carbon rebates

Small and medium-sized enterprises will receive a partial refund on carbon pricing in December, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced this week. Her department says it will issue a total of more than $2.5 billion to some 600,000 businesses. The amounts disbursed will vary by province and company size. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business welcomed the announcement but continues to oppose the market-based carbon tax outright.
