The federal government has ended its carbon pricing for consumers. But what did the carbon tax and rebate actually do for the climate? And now that it's gone, what impact will that have on emissions?

Retail prices for gasoline fell sharply across Canada after the government on Tuesday removed consumer carbon taxes that had been in effect since 2019.

The gas price average spanning 80 cities fell from $1.608 per litre of regular fuel on March 27 to $1.493 on April 3.
