Canada|Canada Supreme Court Rules Federal Carbon Tax Is ConstitutionalIn rejecting a request from some provinces to strike down national carbon pricing, the court declared that the measure meets an important national need.

Money and tax credits to address climate change are expected to underpin much of President Biden's coming spending proposals, which aides and documents suggest could cost as much as $4 trillion over the next decade.

Citing Parliament's power to legislate on matters related to "peace, order and good government," the court said that fighting climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions was a matter of "national concern" protected under the Constitution."
