Original Note:
The proposed note's estimate of 0.3% only accounts for the costs of food transportation/processing, and not upstream costs such as carbon-taxed overhead, equipment, feed & seed, etc. By 2030, the carbon tax is estimated to increase food prices more than climate change itself. https://retail-insider.com/retail-insider/2023/03/the-hidden-cost-of-carbon-taxes-and-how-it-will-impact-food-retail-in-canada-op-ed/
