    “Thursday’s [updated report](https://www.pbo-dpb.ca/en/publications/RP-2425-017-S–distributional-analysis-federal-fuel-charge-update–analyse-distributive-redevance-federale-combustibles-mise-jour) from the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) found that — considering the average household cost of paying the consumer fuel levy, the GST that’s charged and the indirect costs from the carbon tax — on average, households will see a net gain in 2030-31.

    The report also said that, “broadly speaking,” its analysis showed larger net gains and lower net household costs than its previous study did”.

  2. First of all if the reduction in GDP is fuel savings that’s the whole point.

    I can’t sus it out. Is the rebate being turned back into the economy or is it written off as an expense?

    I find it hard to believe the 10% being drawn off for programs is that much of a drag on the system. Even then it’s being spent which contributes to GDP
