Line chart titled "Canada is not on track to any of its emissions targets." National emissions in megatonnes of CO2-equivalent, 2005 to 2050. Historical emissions decline from about 770 Mt in 2005 to roughly 660 Mt by 2025, fluctuating along the way. From 2025, five projection scenarios diverge. A yellow band marks Canada's 2030 and 2035 target range, roughly 400 to 460 Mt. A grey wedge marks the net-zero pathway, narrowing to zero by 2050. Every projection sits well above the target range.
Line chart titled "Canada's industrial carbon price, rolled back." Three trajectories in Canadian dollars per tonne of CO2-equivalent, 2020 to 2040. Previous federal benchmark (red line): rises from $30 in 2020 to $170 in 2030, then ends. New headline price (dark blue line): $95 in 2025, rising slowly to $115 in 2030, $130 in 2035, $140 in 2040. New credit trading floor (light blue line): $60 in 2030, rising to $110 by 2040. The new trajectory sits well below the previous benchmark and extends a decade further.
