Addressing Climate Change

Create a new carbon pricing framework that can actually achieve the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions
- We would return the carbon tax revenues directly to Islanders through an unconditional payment (similar to the HST rebate)
- This allows Islanders to choose for themselves how they can best reduce their emissions
Create a low interest loan program to encourage small-scale solar energy installations on residential, non- profit, small business, and agricultural buildings
Develop a program to support the installation of electric vehicle chargers in homes and workplaces
Create a purchase incentive for electric vehicles
Transition the provincial fleet to electric vehicles
Provide free transit passes to those using social support services and explore subsidizing passes for seniors across the province
Expand reforestation and forestry management programs
Implement a small business tax reduction
