Quebec's New Carbon Tax

According to CBC News

Quebec will implement Canada’s first carbon tax in October, collecting just under one cent a litre from petroleum companies in the province, which will raise about $200 million a year to pay for energy-saving initiatives such as improvements to public transit. The tax will amount to 0.8 cents on every litre of gas sold in Quebec, and 0.9 cents on each litre of diesel fuel. About 50 companies will be affected by the tax.
