Faut-il abandonner la tarification du carbone sur l’essence?
AI Article Summary

The article discusses the debate in Quebec over whether to abolish the carbon pricing on gasoline, with 56% of Quebecers in favor of removal for a potential 10-cent per liter price reduction. Despite reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from 1990-2022, the government faces challenges in communicating the benefits of its carbon pricing. The decision contrasts with federal actions, and social acceptance of the policy is low, impacting Quebec's inflation. Quebec Premier François Legault must decide whether to maintain or abandon the system under political pressure.
