Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has reached an agreement for a carbon price and national climate plan, pledging to move ahead even as two Canadian provinces continue to hold out.
Trudeau met premiers Friday in Ottawa, emerging in the evening to announce a framework toward 2030 emissions reduction targets that includes a minimum carbon price. It will be up to provinces and territories to choose either a tax or cap-and-trade.
