Federal Carbon Price

Before the end of March 2017, will the federal government announce a national carbon price?
Yes: 15%
(A federal carbon tax would count, as would a national cap-and-trade system.  The price does not need to made into law or implemented by the end of March 2017)

The federal government recently held a meeting with provincial premiers about the idea of a national carbon price (see articles here and here).  The meeting seems to have been somewhat inconclusive.  At this point, it does not look likely the federal government will proceed with a national carbon price in the near future.
