Maintain and improve the Output-Based Pricing System for large industrial emitters
"Make sure big emitters pay while protecting the competitiveness of Canadian industry. We will improve the Output-Based Pricing System (OBPS) for large industrial emitters and actively work with provincial and territorial governments to ensure carbon markets continue to function well, reduce barriers to harmonizing and linking these markets across the country, and ensure they establish a long-term signal to lock in investments. This will make sure that, as Canadian industry reduces emissions, we are still competitive, make sure companies are able to withstand America’s trade war, and that Canada is positioned to take advantage of new opportunities in the global marketplace." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-23

Develop a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism to price the carbon emissions of manufacturing foreign goods then importing them into Canada

So we will work with reliable partners to ensure fairness for Canadian industries and better economically integrate Canada with allies in the fight against climate change. This approach would focus on ensuring the competitiveness of Canada’s most energy-intensive, trade-exposed sectors, and protect Canadians who work in industries such as steel and aluminum." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-23
