“Consistent with Article 13.24, the Parties shall cooperate bilaterally and in international forums to address matters of mutual interest, as appropriate, to … promote carbon pricing and measures to mitigate carbon leakage risks,” the agreement states.
Poilievre’s insistence that this is meant to “impose” a carbon tax on Ukrainians is also hard to square with the fact that Ukraine has had a carbon tax since 2011.
